Question is, are kids in more danger at school than they would be at other places where they might commonly congregate? Probably not.

There is certainly a lot of facts, details, statistics and data within this article. All very conclusive; except…

There is no information outlining why these school shootings happen. I searched for a key word that would explain why these shootings happen and that word is missing in this article.

Interestingly enough, that word is missing in our society. That word is father. Do more research and see that the majority of these killers have no father at home. And add to that sorry statistic the fact that our country has crashed and burned in terms of morality and decency, and it’s a wonder that school shootings don’t occur more often.

Think about ways to change schools to make them safer.
Stop thinking about ways to take guns away from law-abiding citizens.
Focus on the real problem.

Is whether the incident occurred in a GFZ included? It’s significant, both statistically and in terms of informing policy.

Good information...
They left out one important thing...
How many shooters were either under the influence of or going through withdrawal from psychotropic drugs,
?

I haven’t looked at the data, but it would be interesting to see how the stats compare for the following dates:

1. Before and after the creation of the Department of Education.
2. Before and after the creation of gun-free zones.

Also, how many attacks were thwarted by armed defenders?

For perspective, we kill an average of 250 children a year transporting them to and from school.

These morons left out over 200 years of armed schoolteachers trained from their youth with guns from 1620`s to 1840`s and beyond. They are complete ignoramuses. Armed schoolmarms records can be found in all the small town historical societies and local newspapers of village of the 1800`s.
viz.
Apparently, school security experts have completely forgotten the original first school security systems in America. It was fearless schoolmarms, big dogs, a musket and a deadeye aim. People appear to be quite ignorant of American Education Security and its beginnings. Please tell educators go back and study early American school security. They might actually learn something. Apparently, USA educators do not even know their history of American education. Viz.
200 years ago, near Saratoga, NY, 2 schoolmarms armed with muskets held off a band of Algonquin Indians, British allies, until the militia arrived. You can check the Saratoga, NY area archives. It`s a famous battle. Apparently US teachers have total amnesia concerning how to protect children from predators 2 legged or 4 legged. Schools had armed teachers already here over 200 years ago- nothing new.
SCHOOLS ARE GUN ZONES in 1800

“Children of the present day would be somewhat startled to go to school attended by large dogs, to keep off the bears and other wild animals, to study all day by the crackle of the great fire and back logs, to hear the howling of wolves at rollcall, and see the teacher take from its resting place over the door, a trusty rifle to guard the way home. Such were the first schools in 1800.”

This is a really frivolous definition of school shootings, which only gained public attention as rampage shootings involving multiple unrelated victims.

This definition includes all suicides, gang fights, and even self defense shootings outside schools, stray bullets, no one injured, etc.

The definition:

The database documents every instance a gun is brandished, fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims, time, day of the week, or reason.

Considering this covers over 50 years, even in these extremely broad terms, we are talking less than 40 incidents per year, in a nation of 330 million. This definition includes all incidents where the school is not even in session.

The purpose appears to be to de-legitimize firearms.

The pie chart is confusing. There are 17 “slices”, but only eight different categories are listed. Moreover, some of the different slices have virtually the same color.

Lots of vulnerable people jammed into a soft facility. What could go wrong.

Meanwhile homeschool kids live in daily danger of dropping their grilled cheese sandwich on the floor.

And 62 million babies never got to be school students because they were aborted starting in 1973.

And 3,000 more every day.

“...detailed information on this subject was paramount to campus safety.” Remember, this is brandon’s military, therefore his study and the conclusions his and his alone. Don’t expect anything that makes sense or that provides actual campus safety.

I want to see a graph showing the slide when virtue was the chief goal of education, to where it is now.

Then show the different layers of drug abuse, violent crime, divorce and welfare.

The most common age of a shooter is 17, followed by 16 and 15.

Raising the age to buy a rifle to 21 will help how?
How about the right to self defense?
How about legitimate young hunters and marksmen?
You know, 2A stuff?

So on average, 12 children died in school shootings each year.

For comparison, in the USA, 150-200 people die from peanut allergies. I don’t know the exact numbers of kids who die from this, but since peanut allergies are *primarily* a childhood affliction, probably the majority of those each year are kids. If we say half of the lower end of the range, that’s 75 kids a year.

So peanuts are 6x as dangerous to kids as school shooters are?
