So, any time theres a mass shooting, the anti-gun Left jumps for glee: another opportunity to fundraise, attack Republicans, and make the case yet again for why we need common sense gun control, which really means gun bans and the repeal of the Second Amendment. They tout misinformation, push narratives with shoddy data, and partake in our favorite game: not knowing what the current gun laws are and pervasively screw up on gun lexicon. Part of it is just plain ignorance, and part of it is also refusing to accept facts that undercut the narrative. The school shootings data point is pushed hard-core among anti-gunners. Its total trash.
First, school shootings are still rare. Our schools have never been safer. Its not the Wild West. EvenThe Washington Post called out Everytown for saying there were 18 shootings thus far back in Februaryafter the tragic Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting:

I lived near a minority middle school and it was locked down quite often. I’d hear a bunch of sirens and a sherriff’s deputy car would come screaming up, block the road going to the school and the deputy would jump out with his shotgun and stand guard. Every few weeks or so. Normal occurrence and usually a one on one thing or black on black. Punks with handguns going for a specific target. Not some mentally unstable kid planning on shooting as many as possible.
“Classified as an alcohol related incident even though the bottle had not been opened and none consumed”
I love it!
If that happened to me my kids would have loved teasing me about my “alcoholism”.
.
If they find a beer can in the ditch a half-mile away, it’s alcohol-related.

The ignorant marxist left's major virtue is not clarity and honesty. Why insist on expecting any?
No need to continue beating that retarded dead horse. I'll just repeat one of my favorite all-time quotes :
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. -- C. S. Lewis"
Bartender: He’s been struck by lightning... how many times has it been now, Reg?
Reg: S-s-s-s-s-s-s-six...
Chet: Six times?
Reg: S-s-s-six-six-six-six-six-six-sixty-sixty-six times. In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n the head!
Chet: Sixty six times? God, that’s gotta hurt.

common sense gun control
Common sense commie control.
I think it is indeed partially because fewer people work outdoors (farming, etc.), and even recreational activities like fishing and such seem to be “down”. This despite a growing population.
Plus, we now have much better warnings of thunderstorms, and there are considerable efforts by the NWS regarding lightning safety, such as the “When thunder roars, go indoors” and “Flash? Dash Inside!” slogans.
Hahaha! (But I didn’t end the chart in 2014, the author did!)
:-)
Yikes! (And I used to think I “drew” lightning!)
“I guess the numbers are falling because folks spend less time outside?”
Better weather forcasting and over the past decade installation of warning systems near pools and sports complexes to warn of nearby lightening.
Another one the MADD cows use is: If there is any alcohol in either vehicle, it’s “alcohol involved”, even if you just stopped to pick up a bottle of wine for dinner, put it in the trunk, and got t-boned by a bicycle.
Let the DemocRATS print a gun they can use to commit suicide! By the way, piss OFF the LEFTIST Censors. FREE 3-D printed gun blueprints here, so download all 10 or so!

“Im sure they counted every child who drew a picture of a gun, and the ones who chewed their sandwich to resemble a pistol. Anything to support the narrative...”
Say it ain’t so
I guess I’m weird. I often go outside to watch storms. Not that we get a whole lot of them around here.
