There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

So… wait. You’re…… defending school shootings? If not then maybe back the fuck off. I’m simply saying ONE school shooting is too fucking many.

If you disagree with this. You have a SERIOUS problem.

If you got from what I wrote that I was defending school shootings, you’re brain dead. No where in my comment have I defended it. I have pointed out multiple times that bad data leads to terrible policies/laws.

You’re doing the same shit the anti-abortion nuts do. Make stats fit your narrative. It’s why another AWB won’t do shit. It’s why UBCs won’t do shit. It’s why waiting periods won’t do shit. Because all of those things and all of this “common sense” gun legislation isn’t common sense, it’s idiotic, because it’s built on junk data.

I’m not doing ANY shit. I’m asking you to define your position more clearly. And what I’m saying is that while you two had your little slap fight, neither of you stopped for a moment to consider that you’re talking about burdens of children’s lives here.

My point?

If we only had ONE SCHOOL SHOOTING PER YEAR WITH ONE FATALITY PER YEAR ITS ONE SHOOTING AND ONE FATALITY TOO MANY.

but you go ahead and have your little squabble over what counts as a school shooting and what doesn’t. Because there will always be parents who are having to bury their children, right?

Do me a favor by doing them a kindness and have it resolved as soon as possible so they can rest at ease knowing there’s some random guy on the internet vetting the bad ones from the good ones so that the can be confident in knowing that their child did in fact- die in a proper and official school shooting.

Emotional legislation is shit legislation. Again, that’s how we got the patriot act…

Again, you only seem to give a shit if the child dies via firearm.

Again emotionally driven legislation is not good legislation. You’re applying the “think of the children logic”.

So the parents burying their child that died in a car wreck going to school doesn’t count? Again, you seem to not give a crap about how they died unless it’s via firearm.

So would you support banning schools?

It might save a child’s life.

What an ignorant take on the subject. I love when people prove they’re not paying attention. It saves me a LOT of time.

I thought literally any measure that might save kids lives was justified.

Or is that only the case with guns?
