It's a problem created by America and ignored by America. See you in two weeks when there's another
you should probably check that link I posted for some insight in to how frequently these happen.

Not very often at all

single source fallacy.

what other ways would you like to compare a homogeneous island with a thousand years of social history to the opposite of that?
Well the topic of the thread is another mass shooting in America. You seem to be under the illusion that there's actually no problem and it doesn't really happen, the best thing to do is ignore it. Meanwhile the rest of the world shakes it's head when it reads the news.

i posted a peer-reviewed study of the last 20 years of school shootings in the US from a highly respected university which shows very clearly that it's an insignificant risk to children.

That's not ignoring the problem, that's performing a logical risk-assessment and cost-benefit analysis of the 'solutions' which are constantly bandied about.

Data cares not for your feels.

Very insignificant for the ten killed today. I wonder if any of them read that report?

Or maybe one of the 17 killed in florida in Feb read it?

I doubt it. It's barely a problem there so why bother

No it doesn't. It barely happens at all and is no significant risk. It's just a freak occurrence

when can I expect to see your thread about the carnage of swimming pools in the US?
How many kids have died at us schools in the last 20 years as a result of drowning? I'm not gonna look this up. But I'd wager it is less than the number who have been shot.

This, plus we need more guns in schools - apparently.
Teachers with guns, students with guns, librarians with guns, hall monitors with guns. Everybody gets a free school gun. Test out that theory, see how it works out.
maybe they should, have like an experimental school with all the teachers and staff trained firearms carriers.

I hate seeing this shit, I don't want any kids or adults to die for no reason.

But why is it all these mass school shootings occur in the most nicest looking schools?
It's never in some ghetto ass schools in Chicago or Baltimore

Our kids are more likely to trip and die from blunt trauma at school than being shot in a mass shooting.

I see you've read the research.

Kudos.
The problem is it would be a freak occurrence if it happened once every 50 years. The fact it happens multiple times a year and you want to dismiss it as not a problem, I think that's why it will keep happening over and over. If there ain't a problem then you can't address it right?

This is true but it does not mean they need to have both risks. You can teach your kids to walk carefully and swim and so on but it is a little different teaching them to dodge bullets from nut cases. Banning all guns is not the answer but mental health services may be. Apparently this shooting fucker was a known weirdo.

You can address any problem, the question is "at what cost, to what benefit?"

So what's your solution? At what cost, to what benefit?

Unless you're Boris the bullet dodger.

Well the Ultimate goal would be to not have people shooting up schools and committing mass shootings. I have no idea what the best way to fox ot would be, but to act like an ostrich and bury your head in the sand is certainly not gonna fox anything
