I don't know much about guns. Don't have one, never will. That's why I'm asking "dumb" questions I guess.
Not really but keep arrogantly discussing how dumb the question is instead of your op.

what a neat retort.
There were a number of school shootings in the 30's. As there were in any of the following decades though it seems to have taken off in the 60's-70's.
I don't know anything about drywall sanding tools. But I'm sure I could figure out how to get one.
I'm done pointing out how ing stupid your question was, would you like to discuss the op?
You sure?
You still haven't answered my question so I figured we're done. I'm good either way.would you like to discuss the op?
One way you could do that would be to ask a self proclaimed drywall expert in a drywall thread started by the same drywall expert.
What is your question?
What started in the 60's? American En lement
Sure...would I be so dumb...then yes, I could do that.
That's the correct answer. Parents need to spend more time with their kids and understanding their kids. Don't wait for the kid to have major issues BEFORE you start paying attention to them. If you don't know them before hand, how the are you going to be able to even assess if an SSRI is making them better or worse or changing them completely.
Also, don't ing let your 6 year old play Grand Theft Auto or watch the Expendables. If your kid is 10, then use your judgement. Are they mature enough to make the distinction between games, movies, and real life? If not, then don't let them watch rated R movies or play the games. Again, it goes back to spending time with your kid and understanding who they arwe and not park them in front of the TV, computer, or Nintendo.
And parents are too afraid to be the bad guy now. You might not be able to control what every other kid does on their IPAD but you should be able to control yours while they're at home to some degree.
Also, if you have the smallest worry that your kid might become violent, lock up your guns.
I'm sure in some extreme cases, some kid may have the best parents and still twist off with no warning. But I bet it's a very small %.
And make them some decent meals.
What do you expect to get out of a kid that eats McDonalds twice a day and sits around watching movies, playing video games, and watching internet porn?
Here's me
I know I've got the school enrollment numbers buried in my time capsule. BRB.
No trying to say school shootings aren't a problem as I am the one who started the thread but your map is severely flawed. Not surprising as it's from Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety.Well, I just did a simple Google search and proved both you and your good friend wrong.
All the school shootings since Sandy Hook.

Everytown for Gun Safety is an activist organization against law-abiding citizens carrying firearms. It was founded by Michael Bloomberg and Shannon Watts, and as The Blaze reports, headlines that 1.37 school shootings have occurred “every single week in the U.S. since the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.”
No surprise, when it came out with its list of ‘every school shooting since Sandy Hook,’ it crammed every conceivable case onto it so as to make it appear like armed criminals were attacking our schools every week.
sure.
I'll go ahead and declare this to be a stupid ing question:
Explain to me how the question why weren't the kids in the 1930's shooting up their schools at the same rate kids are now is a stupid ing question.
Until then...
Blake's stupid ing questions: 1
TSA's stupid ing questions: 0
you're assuming things in your question to be true without validating them first.
But hey, you seen smarter than a monkey, so you should be able to research why your question is re ed.
What have I not validated and what am I assuming? You're claiming it's re ed, this one's on you.
, I took guns to school in high school. My buddies and I would throw all our guns, ammo and bird bags into one car and haul ass after school to our old ranch and shoot doves. Coaches on parking lot patrol would watch us do it. Carried a Case pocket knife to school too from the time I was in the third grade. If my teachers needed to cut something they always asked me to help because they knew my knife was razor sharp. Never even occurred to me to cut or shoot anyone.
So what's actually wrong with it?
They used to do that in Austin too until a student shot a teacher dead in 1978.
Only takes one.
Nothing now. They added this to their website yesterday after being called out for trying to pass all of these off as Newtown type school shootings.
"Data: Incidents were classified as school shootings when a firearm was discharged inside a school building or on school or campus grounds, as do ented in publicly reported news accounts. This includes assaults, homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings. Incidents in which guns were brought into schools but not fired there, or were fired off school grounds after having been possessed in schools, were not included. This list includes incidents meeting the above criteria that were brought to our attention after our School Shootings Analysis was issued on February 10, 2014. Incidents were identified through media reports, so this is likely an undercount of the true total.

School shootings are a serious problem that needs to be addressed, but when 21 year old gang banger Jawan gets shot after hours on campus over a dice game that doesn't count as a "school shooting", neither does Howard bringing his gun to school to shoot himself in front of his drama class. They know very well they are misrepresenting the term everyone is familiar with as a scare tactic. Did you know even know this map you posted was from Everytown for Gun Safety?
From your website: "Since the December 2012 shooting in Newtown, CT, there have been at least 74 school shootings in America. How many more before our leaders pass common-sense laws to prevent gun violence and save lives?"
What common sense laws would have prevented these? Common sense laws are already in place. Common sense laws don't prevent Santa Monica, common sense laws don't prevent Newtown, common sense laws don't prevent Seattle. It's so much more than common sense laws, when will people actually address the real problem of these ed up kids?
All of the above, tbh.
