You are still more likely to be hit by lightning on a college campus than be shot and killed by a random gunman.

But nobody calls for a lockdown every time thunderstorms are predicted.

And I bet you are more likely to be in an earthquake in Japan than be shot on a college campus in America.

It is true, but earthquakes are mere random acts of God--who ya gonna blame?.

Mass shootings on the other hand, are something we Americans did not have much of until the last thirty years or so, and are purely human acts, statements of evil born out of the sick, depraved, lack-of-respect-for-human-life society we must all somehow live in.
