Michael Bloomberg Claims ‘21 Students Are Shot Every Day’ Under Trump

Democrat presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg claims “21 students are shot every day” under President Trump.

In other words, Bloomberg is claiming that the 14 students killed in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018, were only part of the picture that day. Seven others were allegedly shot somewhere else, if Bloomberg’s claim is to be believed. And the next day, 21 more were shot, and then 21 were shot again the day after that, and so on.

Bloomberg offers no substantiation for his claim. Instead, he released a video this week claiming there have been 263 school shootings since President Trump took office.

Two things need to be noted. First, Bloomberg’s video provides zero substantiation for the claim of 263 school shootings.

Secondly, the phrase “school shootings” is very subjective and, as Bloomberg’s gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety has shown, it can lead to massive amounts of exaggeration.

For example, in December 2014 Everytown released a report claiming “100 school shootings” had occurred since the heinous December 14, 2012, attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. Breitbart News examined the “shootings” listed by Everytown and reported that the list contained non-school shootings, shootings that did not occur, and accidental discharges of firearms that were legally possessed on campus.

In fact, Everytown cited an Idaho State University instructor who accidentally shot himself in the foot with his concealed carry firearm as an example of a “school shooting.”

I see homelessness is in the news more, with the implication that somehow Trump and his policies have created/exacerbated homelessness.

The MSM discovered homelessness when Reagan was president, and conveniently forgets it when a DemocRAT is president. The problem has been getting worse, primarily due to leftist policies.

We cannot confine the mentally ill to institutions any more. That's a major component of the homeless problem.

A large number of violent gang members are enrolled in a school. I wouldn’t be surprised if 21 of them were shot by other gangsters every day.

Are these the same 21 who get shot every day? If so, they must be pretty dumb students. Common core?

A friend of mine will soon have a machine that can Force the users Head up their own Ass perfected soon.

I keep telling him that these many democrats have already achieved that without resorting to any ‘machine’.

According to the FBI statistics, there were 10,265 firearm homicides in 2018.

648 victims were under the age of 18 and 2131 were under the age of 22.

If there were 21 x 365 = 7665 student shootings, 2132/7665 or 27.8% of the gunshot victims died. I've read elsewhere that the mortality for gunshot wounds in the US is 27.4%.

If everyone under the age of 22 were actually a student, this might make some sense. However, the vast majority under-22 homicide victims are Persons of Color engaged in the retail drug trade in urban areas. And are unlikely to be attending school.

I think the parameters are any shooting within 5 miles of a school gets them included.


Or could it mean if the person went to school at one time?

Being shot includes both killed and injured. Depending on the tone of voice, etc. being shot at could be counted.

If the shooter gets of 50 rounds, kills one with 3 rounds, injures 3 with 5 rounds and misses 42 of 50 times, how do we count it?

The whole topic is more emotional that logical or factual.

The libel laws in the US need to be changed. The lying with no recourse has to stop. That and term limits....
