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.

I know the answer to all this. we just need more fetuses with guns.
Or only allow abortions to be post-natal and via firearm?
Damn. That was too dark. I’m gonna go hug my dog now.
The all-new Glock Ba-B-Gonne! When you have a baby you want gone, Ba-B-Gonne!
Apply directly to the baby. Apply directly to the baby.

They’re going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they’ll start using that to target people they don’t like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you’re on the “dangerous person’s list” now “dangerous people” can’t hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a “mental health” hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their “discretion” to put anyone they don’t like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you’re “mentally unhealthy” don’t believe in God? Believe it or not “mental health problems” not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can’t allow the “mentally unhealthy people” to procreate! So we’ll have to sterilize them. Of course they can’t be trusted, so we’ll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them “jobs” at the “mental health” camps!
I get what you’re trying to say but you’re quite far on a Fantasy path there. Yeah, the US has some fucked up rules and yeah, there are fucked up people wanting fucked up control over others, but you’re talking Nazi Germany here
The police have access to warrantless tracking information on you through private companies in the form of license plate readers. Is a slow boil, but we’ll get there soon enough.
I agree, Democrats are not going to do this in your country.
They are, however, going to continue arming fascist states and supporting with money and logistics their fascist wars.
And the fact that Republicans would be more eager to do that doesn’t mean a lot. Republicans look like useless nonsense evil, a bit like Russia’s regime, and Democrats look like effective intelligent evil - some kind of Empire in old Star Wars.
I really hope Democrats will not be like that after the election, the issue is - currently USA still has a Democratic administration. That administration didn’t even pretend it’s going to check Israel, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Just my PoV as someone who does not live in the USA and is not going to move there in near perspective.
they don’t care about kids. they don’t care about life. they care about controlling women. I first heard George Carlin say “pro-life is just anti-woman” when i was a kid, and didn’t really understand very well. but now it’s so clear.
A bit like the green card lottery, school shootings are a lottery for “post natal abortions”©
Fun part: every parent gets to play.
I like how America’s culture comes up to putting angry messages on cars.
We’re forced to have cars because we’ve been denied effective public transportation, even in metropolitan areas.
That doesn’t tell me anything. 50 ever? Per decade? Year? Month? Day? It’s the US, all of those are possible and valid answers
Using the GVA as a source, is like expecting trump not to lie.
https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent
I don’t see the gva anywhere in that article and the numbers in the CNN article are pretty close to the numbers NPR was able to verify
It’s literally in the first paragraph:
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.
And if you read the article from NPR and look at the data from GVA, you will see a pattern of school shootings that aren’t school shootings, but are counted as such because they happened near a school or some other reason.
An example is a pellet gun being used to shoot out the window on a school bus on the weekend…do you think that should be counted as a school shooting? I hope you don’t.
What source should be used?
And was there more than one school shooting this year? Because that’s one more than almost every other Western country.
I’m not sure why you’re trying to downplay this problem.
Edit: Don’t bother reading below for a source. They don’t give one. They’re just here to troll.
Thank you for fighting the good fight
Let me make two notes:
A “school shooting” is any time a gun goes off on any school grounds. You can go to the elementary soccer field and put one in the ground at midnight, “school shooting”. Mass shootings are not what you picture in your mind when that word comes up.
The Gun Violence Archive and Everytown for Gun Safety are two of the most biased sources related to guns.
