Not really though. The media has a really loose definition of “school shooting” so they can keep people scared.
To use a local example, two parents got in an argument outside a school, one pulled a gun and shot the other. A shooting at a school is not necessarily how people think of a “school shooting”.
“Baltimore County police said the teen was outside a shopping center across the street from the school when someone got out of a car and opened fire. Campbell then ran toward school grounds, where he eventually collapsed, and was shot multiple times more.”
I was on a jury, guy was charged with “dealing drugs within 1,000 feet of a school”. They asked if anyone had any questions, so I asked “In a city like ours, is there any location NOT within 1/5th of a mile of a school?”
Yeah, I was dismissed from the jury. LOL.
Just because it’s close to a school doesn’t mean it’s related to the school or the students.
“Buh, buh, THE CHILDREN!!! WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!” is the refrain they use to get you to give up rights.

Always check the details before you believe the hype. The actual number is 8, which is 8 too many, but a far cry from 140.

Even some of those aren’t actually “school shootings” as the average person thinks of them:
3/4 in Baltimore, MD: “A 16-year-old student was shot and killed after being chased onto school property.”
Nobody went to that school intending to kill students. They were intent on murdering one kid who happened to run on to school grounds.

That’s a targeted killing, not a school shooting.

And yet in terms of overall crime, the US isn’t even in the top 50:

How fucking sad is it that school shootings are washed out due to a pedo in the White house.
