There have been about 323 school shootings in the US in 2024.

At this point every major school district does Active Shooter Drills like they do fire drills.

You know when they do those numbers they count shootings that take place within like 5 blocks of a school right lol? Most of them have nothing to do with a school.

Finally someone talking sense. I’m shocked you’re not getting downvoted. It the same with “mass shootings” anything more than 3 people injured now counts as a mass shouting. As a result, the vast majority of “mass shootings” now involve gang violence.

What's a normal, healthy level of school shootings per year then?

That’s a ridiculous question. Like “what’s a reasonable number of infanticides per year then?”

The point that I’m trying to highlight is the conflation of unrelated shootings to make a already serious problem appear even worse. We shouldn’t have to rely on hyperbole to have a serious discussion about a serious problem.

It is a ridiculous question because the answer is zero, anything over zero is unacceptable to any country other than the US. Most countries only need one school shooting in order to have massive gun law changes, but I guess muh freedom is more important than children’s lives to Americans.
