School shooting' definition has recently been changed to make it look like they are more frequent now​

"Uvalde was a mass school shooting; the 26 previous tragedies at schools this year were not."

"Interesting. The definition of 'school shooting' was changed to make them seem common, when in fact it’s rarer than we realized,"

This article by Reason breaks it down: The root of the problem is "that three very differently defined terms are being used somewhat incautiously and interchangeably: 'school shooting,' 'mass shooting,' and 'mass school shooting.'"

"Uvalde was a mass school shooting; the 26 previous tragedies at schools this year were not," Reason continues to report, continuing with the definition that at least three people have to be killed (in most cases, four) in order for an incident to officially be considered a mass shooting, according to the Gun Violence Archive itself.

Using this metric, there have only been a total 13 mass school shootings since 1966, going back to the infamous clock tower incident at the University of Austin on Aug 1 of that year.

Without minimizing the gravity of any incident of this nature, it's worth noting that, once again as Reason goes on to report, "mass casualty events, on the other hand, constitute less than 1 percent of all gun deaths, and that "suicides and non–mass-casualty murders—usually carried out with handguns rather than assault rifles—constitute the overwhelming majority of gun crimes."

This is the work of gun control propagandists busy trying to undermine the rights of the law-abiding.
 
What's your acceptable number of children being massacred in their classrooms?
 
The first school shooting in US history happened while we were still The Colonies. Thank you for playing.
 

Here’s How We Know Guns Aren’t the Root Cause of School Shootings​


Decades ago, guns at schools were commonplace—but school shootings weren't.

I dont entirely disagree with that. Guns were very common at my high school and there was never a shooting. Not even accidental. All for hunting so there was a healthy respect for safety but that wasn't only reason. You just didn't do that shit.
 
I never saw a gun at any school I went to and because of that, there were no school shootings at the schools I attended.
 
If one shot is fired on campus, that's a school shooting. Which is not necessarily the same thing as a mass shooting.
 
Yah, the definition is, guns are fired at a school.

No other definition matters

When guns were in cars in the high school parking lots in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, how come school shootings were almost unheard of? The problem isn't guns, it's lost morality and insane individuals. What brings on that state of mind? In many cases no dad at home, in fact the vast majority of violent males in the nation's prisons are the product of households headed by single moms.
 
I don't care how others want to define it.

If a shot is fired on a school campus, it should be defined as a school shooting.
So with that woke definition how does one surmise if anyone was hurt?

If someone is hurt by a school shooting, then it should be recorded as someone hurt by a school shooting

I honestly don't give a fuck about your whining about wokeness.
 
The left cannot exist in the real world so they have to change the language to create a fantasy world that fits their warped narratives.

That's because you need to be an imprecise idiot to get by in life.

You need to define school shootings in a way that makes guns less of an issue. That's you're fucking agenda, not mine.

If someone is shooting a gun, then it's a shooting. If it's more than one person it's a multiple person event.

It's not rocket science.
 
You literally are whining about how many people are shot and what it is defined as rather than the fucking issue that ANY fucking person was shot.

If people are shot at school, it's a problem involving guns.

If one shot is fired on campus, that's a school shooting. That is neither a fantasy world nor a warped narrative. A fantasy-world warped narrative is one that assumes a "decline in morality" in American society since the 1970s.
