PLEASE... don't buy into the hysteria of "school shootings"... IT was worse!

^Do not like.

You don't like what? Facts?

That type of gun, I like rifles. :)

Not that you shouldn't be able to have that, if you want it.

Gun-grabbers never quit, I'm ready to tell them all to fuck off, you ain't gettin' a damn thing, you unreasonable asshats!

Millions of ARs out there (close to 10, probably more) and 2 people using them improperly, means everybody has to give theirs up because the gubmint didn't do their job? GFY.


And as my thread title indicates... why all the angst NOW? When gun shootings are down? What is the difference between the 1990s and today?
ONE major difference. 24/7 news cable,MSM coverage that needs sensationalism to get ratings to sell advertising.
Simple solution: A HIPAA like law.
See health care providers under severe financial penalties CAN NOT reveal patient identities much less the health issues.
Well for the health of millions of people I say we need a similar law restraining MSM from providing the notoriety that 1,000s of potential idiots like the recent shooter from
getting notoriety!
Simply restricting the MSM from publicizing the shooter's identity will reduce the notoriety and might then reduce that number of potential idiots.
 
Researchers at Northeastern University say
  • mass school shootings are extremely rare,
  • that shootings involving students have been declining since the 1990s, and
  • four times as many children were killed in schools in the early 1990s than today.

“There is not an epidemic of school shootings,” said James Alan Fox, the Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy at Northeastern.
He said more children die each year from pool drownings or bicycle accidents.

There are around 55 million schoolchildren in the U.S., the study said, and over the past 25 years, about 10 students on average per year were killed by gunfire at school.

The Everytown group said this month that its own research shows there have been nearly 300 school shootings in America since 2013 — defining a shooting as
"anytime a firearm discharges a live round inside or into a school building or on a school campus."

“The thing to remember is that these are extremely rare events, and no matter what you can come up with to prevent it, the shooter will have a workaround,” Mr. Fox said in a report on the university’s website.

Schools safer today than in 1990s, study on shootings says

So why does the MSM continually cover these RARE, extremely rare events and make it sound like it happens ALL the time????

Advertising! Ratings!

People! Wake up! Don't get agitated. Don't get emotional. AND DON'T GET IRRATIONAL!
You are being manipulated by a handful of people i.e. managers of MSM outlets that are counting on your
irrational, illogical response to events that are RARE! EXCEPTIONAL. DON'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY!
First of all, you’re an idiot comparing accidental deaths with murder. But that aside, because there are many deaths by pool drownings, I’m required to put a fence around my pool. Because there are many deaths on bicycles, my kids are required to wear a helmet when they ride.

So precautions are taken to reduce the risk. Why does the right fight against reducing the risk of shootings in schools?
Getting rid of cowardly actions like gun free zones
As we saw just yesterday, armed teachers leads to armed violence in schools. Putting more guns in schools will only increase school shootings.
If a mass shooter has a choice between an armed school and a unarmed school they will take the unarmed school every time

Armed teacher arrested for violent incident in Dalton, Georgia

ONE incident! ONE. And we don't know if this teacher was QUALIFIED under the strict regimen that would be required for teachers that
A) want to be carrying
B) have been TRAINED to carry
C) AND finally qualified...i.e. mentally etc.

But once again you are proving my point! ONE incident!

The solution is simple!
Do not allow MSM to publicize the mass shooter's identity.
We have HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information.)
The penalties for noncompliance are based on the level of negligence and can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation (or per record), with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million per year for violations of an identical provision.Jan 9, 2014

Why not a similar law against promoting, publicizing i.e. providing notoriety for school shooters?
A MSM that releases a school shooter information would be subject to the same penalties as described for HIPAA violations.

That is NOT infringement of the "free press" because HIPAA has already been shown effective.
Any organization that releases shooter information to the MSM i.e. like HIPAA restrictions would be penalized!

Nutcase, what we see is that mass shooters are picking the schools they attended, not because they are unarmed— which they are not anyway. Like at Douglas where there was an armed police officer.

To a rightist only the gun has meaning in life, the victims have none...


I'm neither rightist or leftist.

But using your logic.. you put a fence around the pool and kids wear helmets. But all that there still were more deaths from pool drownings than school shootings!
Why are people so upset about 17 kids being shot yet in spite of signs saying this is a gun free zone... the only people that pay attention are law abiding people!
Others say hey target practice!

Don't confuse the reality with your emotions. That's what I'm trying to point out. You are being manipulated. It is for ratings. It is for advertising. IT is the MSM fault for
actually encouraging idiots like the Parkland shooter to gain notoriety . If there is anything I'd agree to is that there should be a HIPAA like law passed regarding notoriety by
MSM of idiots like these shooters because there are 1,000s more out there! And giving publicity is the fuel and people like you don't seem to get it!
There is far more attention to the school shootings, again, because it’s murder. Folks are generally less outraged by accidents.adding fuel to the fire is that despite there being school shootings, nothing is ever done to prevent them from continuing.

Far less then 1990s!
Again the facts are against your wailing...

That's the big difference!

The only ones fighting to keep us from protecting students are you guys......you won't get rid of gun free zones...the one thing that keeps attracting these shooters...anything else is just security theater.....
 
Don't outlaw a weapon just outlaw a plant...What fucking logic from humans...

But you are totally ignoring reality "Moonglow". You are a pawn of the MSM. You believe ALL their hysteria. Their hype. Their headlines.
That's why I said deal with reality not hyperbole!
You suck as a prognosticator...


And obviously you don't read very carefully.
A) There are NO prognostications involved.
B) These are the FACTS.


  • From 2005-2014, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day.1 An additional 332 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents.
  • About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger. ( or 77 per year from 2005 to 2014 under age 14...school age!).
  • For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries

Unintentional Drowning: Get the Facts | Home and Recreational Safety | CDC Injury Center

So this works out to 700 people that died from drowning in 9 years that were under age 14.

This is an average of 77 per year! FAR FAR from the 10 per year from school shootings.

FACTS Moonglow... you need to deal with FACTS!


Facts don't work for left wing gun grabbers....dead kids, though? Dead kids give them power...which is one big reason they don't want to allow teachers and staff to be armed....they would keep mass shooters from attacking schools....and dead kids from school shootings are too valuable a tool to waste....
 
Liars figure and figures lie.

Prove it!
The entire thread proves it. LOL

So let me get this straight.
You say that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are lying when they say 77 kids under age 14 drown versus 10 per year from school shootings?
Unintentional Drowning: Get the Facts | Home and Recreational Safety | CDC Injury Center

They have not published the data in this study yet. However the tactic is simple and it's used by both sides of the political spectrum to create spectacular sounding headlines. They count on few looking beyond the headlines......


What data are you talking about because here is the study..

Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be, researchers say
