Twice a week? According to this, there were 346 school shootings in the US in 2023. Almost enough for one per day. Then remember holidays and the winter and summer breaks…
I think this stat only counts K-12 schools too, not colleges.
Oh god, why do I do this to myself…fuck, ok, here we go
deep breath
Like almost all gun statistics that are shared in left-leaning media, this one is grossly misleading.
Casting a wide net, the database captures not only incidents in which a gun is fired on school property, but also those in which a bullet hits school property, whether or not school is in session. Incidents in which a gun is brandished but not fired and those in which there are no victims are also included.
So in this case, a “school shooting” can include incidents where there was literally not a single shot fired at all by anyone.
People are not rational when it comes to guns, abortion, anything to do with children, etc. Contributing information is usually a bad idea and roundly rejected.
Bush isn’t president anymore, and there’s already a reason to justify another two decade war.
In any case, theres domestic terrorism happening every day in the US including Trump’s Jan 6, and the twice a week school shootings.

I hate that you’re getting downvoted. This is good information. I appreciate the contribution.

Even if it’s half that number, that’s still one every other day. That’s fine by you?
Where did the OP say it was fine? It looks like they simply corrected misinformation. There is no need to poison the discussion.
Yes, I love school shootings!
Seriously what the fuck kind of question is that. Think about it. What is wrong with you.
