There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

they don’t care about kids. they don’t care about life. they care about controlling women. I first heard George Carlin say “pro-life is just anti-woman” when i was a kid, and didn’t really understand very well. but now it’s so clear.
Maybe parents should raise their kids with dignity and respect and a dose of responsibility, maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone.
Let me make two notes:
A “school shooting” is any time a gun goes off on any school grounds. You can go to the elementary soccer field and put one in the ground at midnight, “school shooting”. Mass shootings are not what you picture in your mind when that word comes up.
The Gun Violence Archive and Everytown for Gun Safety are two of the most biased sources related to guns.
hahaha this guy’s like “if you just shoot and injure 4 people but can’t definitively kill them, is that even a shooting?”
good note on the school thing though. I’m totally going to a parent who lost their child playing soccer in school and telling them “well they weren’t inside the classroom; you didn’t expect them to be safe anywhere in school, didya?”
Wait until they hear about the dozens of schools bombed in palestine as part of usa sponsored genocide.
Violence is deeply instilled and normalized in the history, culture and especially the state of our genocidal society.
I like how America’s culture comes up to putting angry messages on cars.
Roads lead to road rage
Road rage leads to other kinds of rageWe’re forced to have cars because we’ve been denied effective public transportation, even in metropolitan areas.
Many people in the comments trying to downplay the amount, america is truly fucked
Only 50? IIRC that’s a marked improvement from recent previous years.
Perhaps people conflate mass shootings with school shootings
Recent years have been wildly exaggerated. This is a frighteningly real number.
They’re going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they’ll start using that to target people they don’t like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you’re on the “dangerous person’s list” now “dangerous people” can’t hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a “mental health” hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their “discretion” to put anyone they don’t like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you’re “mentally unhealthy” don’t believe in God? Believe it or not “mental health problems” not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can’t allow the “mentally unhealthy people” to procreate! So we’ll have to sterilize them. Of course they can’t be trusted, so we’ll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them “jobs” at the “mental health” camps!
I get what you’re trying to say but you’re quite far on a Fantasy path there. Yeah, the US has some fucked up rules and yeah, there are fucked up people wanting fucked up control over others, but you’re talking Nazi Germany here
The police have access to warrantless tracking information on you through private companies in the form of license plate readers. Is a slow boil, but we’ll get there soon enough.
Going to? The US has been doing that since the day it gained its independence.
Yeah, this is a slippery slope. Imagine you have a neighbor you don’t get along with. They could just report you for “mentally unstable behavior” and then you are added to a watch list! Then, of course, this list would be shared across government agencies, because “for safety”. This would affect every decision you make for the rest of your life! It’s almost like you would have a “red flag” attached to your name for the rest of your life!
All because someone just didn’t like you.
Judging by your comment, we are in agreement that “red flag laws” are NOT a good idea!
Gun stores are the final decider on who is and isn’t buying guns. There should be more training for them, but also more liability attached as well. They know the people who are making straw purchases and they ignore it because they want sales.
I know quite a few local FFLs and not a single one of them would risk their license and livelihood by knowingly selling to straw purchasers.
I fucking wish we could share medical details between government agencies, but we can’t even competently share driver’s license info.
I agree, Democrats are not going to do this in your country.
They are, however, going to continue arming fascist states and supporting with money and logistics their fascist wars.
And the fact that Republicans would be more eager to do that doesn’t mean a lot. Republicans look like useless nonsense evil, a bit like Russia’s regime, and Democrats look like effective intelligent evil - some kind of Empire in old Star Wars.
I really hope Democrats will not be like that after the election, the issue is - currently USA still has a Democratic administration. That administration didn’t even pretend it’s going to check Israel, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Just my PoV as someone who does not live in the USA and is not going to move there in near perspective.
I know the answer to all this. we just need more fetuses with guns.
Or only allow abortions to be post-natal and via firearm?
Damn. That was too dark. I’m gonna go hug my dog now.
Pls post a pic of your dog.
That is one happy dog!
Wait, did you just say that that’s a https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FLGA8F3Ahvs
Awwww, what a cutie. 🥺 13/10
Fucking op delivered, God damn.
The all-new Glock Ba-B-Gonne! When you have a baby you want gone, Ba-B-Gonne!
Apply directly to the baby. Apply directly to the baby.
Through the baby*
Dammit, that’s better.
I believe the kids say “based”.
I think those kids are drinking age now
But we don’t know what it means. And that’s okay.
What does that mean? Old person here.
The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.
What if I want to actively participate?
Go for kindergarten, surely they’re easier targets.
Idk i think a gaggle of abortioners at a clinic would be even easier targets. Plus most of them are gonna be worth 2 points.
True. You could hit a killtacular in no time.
That’s the fun stuff missing from modern GTAs
It was a Halo streak. For killing five ops in four seconds.
Miss that unreal tournament kill streaking goodness. GODLIKE
That doesn’t tell me anything. 50 ever? Per decade? Year? Month? Day? It’s the US, all of those are possible and valid answers
This year alone, don’t play stupid
It’s not meant to sound stupid, it was literally my first thought at reading the title. Any other country I would have taken it as “50 ever” but this being the US, is it 50 for the whole year? That sounds too low. 50 this month? What would be a bituch, I guess.
That was the point I was trying to make, that the US is at a point in history that such a statement needs more information, and that is bizarre to me.
I understand yours point, sorry for being harsh. Look here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-violence-claimed-lives-5000-people-2024/story?id=107262776
What about the OP is ambiguous that they mean 50 since the start of this year?
They possibly just didn’t read past the title lol
It can’t be fifty ever. The US is too exceptional for that. Clearly we have a higher lifetime total.
I’m sure we could name 50 high-profile ones. Jonesboro, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Parkland…the list goes on.
A bit like the green card lottery, school shootings are a lottery for “post natal abortions”©
Fun part: every parent gets to play.
that honestly seems like on the low side
The front side is a little lower, but still high enough to kill children.
Anybody else misread that exclamation point as excited at first? A little horrifying, NGL.
“If we push really hard, we can meet our Q4 quota and end the year strong!”
