School Shootings

[ChumpDumper]

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?

Still looks like a bunch of shootings after Sandy Hook, regardless of the whining.

So what would you have done to stop Adam Lanza?

You want to see more shootings after Sandy Hook look at Chicago just this year alone, where's the outrage?

There was no law in place nor any that could be made that would have stopped Adam Lanza.

I agree. If you can discipline your children properly and consistently without any kind of physical punishment, fine. But thinking it's okay to let your kids have hissy fits and meltdowns in public with no consequences, or trying "reason" with the child, or just saying "stop" 100 times while the little keeps melting down, is the type of overcoddling bull we see far too often. A kids needs to know to act right, and that if he doesn't he's going to face consequences. Spanking may be the easy way out, but it's far better than no discipline at all.

ha ha!

overcoddling like a certain ollll ball coach from south oklahoma i saaaaaaaiiiiiiidddddd

yew jess kent dew TINGS lyke det!

Or maybe the fact that there are a lot of people in Texas with guns serves as a deterrant. I mean, you have to know that if you walk into a public area in Texas and start shooting there's a reasonable chance someone is going to start shooting back.

I see your point. That was the point I attempting to make.

People mention Chicago when it comes to gun violence and shootings but no one cares. They don't care because there is no controversy. A political group or activist group can't benefit from it. They can't benefit because it's black on black violence. There is no way they can pin it on race and race bait. People are also subtle when it comes to racism. They read about Chicago and they're like "well they're black people so it's expected".

What have I not validated and what am I assuming? You're claiming it's re ed, this one's on you.

you're assuming the majority of teenage boys in the 30s owned guns. That claim is all on you.

[Thebesteva]

Angry white boys tbh. Always an adolescent angry white boy. Something's wrong about the way their parents are raising them.

Yes, the parenting of blacks is going so well lately

So what are you ing about again?

[703 Spurz]

Mentally unstable losers wanting to go out in a blaze of glory and be nationally famous. If the media was forbidden from publishing their name and picture and required to report it as "another loser bag shoots up a school" this would stop almost immediately.

I don't understand this mentality. Most of these shootings end with the shooter turning the gun on themselves. How does it make them famous to be someone who killed other people? If he does in fact shoot himself after shooting others, the idiot would be dead which negates reveling in any of the "attention and fame" he'd get.

That's the straw your grasping at now?

Don't let your feelings from another thread spill in to this one. You and I were actually having a decent discussion, would you like to continue it or are you just going to go into your ChumpDumper mode?

[Blake]

That's the straw your grasping at now?

The 30s was the time of the great depression. I'll need to see do entation that the majority of teenage boys owned guns.

Til then, it makes it a re ed question, not worth discussing/answering.

So what could anyone have done to stop Lanza?

Sounds good to me.

Now do you want to actually discuss the OP and if not why are you in this thread?

[TheSanityAnnex]

This thread isn't about how to stop them it is about why they have been more frequent.

[ChumpDumper]

Don't let your feelings from another thread make you try to shut down the discussion you started. It's a natural progression to propose solutions unless you simply don't want anything done about school shootings or the things leading up to them.

Sounds good. What's your solution?

[ChumpDumper]

Sounds good. What's your solution?

I asked you first about Adam Lanza. What could have been done by anyone to stop him?

[TheSanityAnnex]

Answered your same question yesterday.

There was no law in place nor any that could be made that would have stopped Adam Lanza.

So what is your solution?

[xmas1997]

Why is it this never ever happened when I was growing up and going to school?
The most that happened was someone would get killed in a hunting accident.
The generations after mine have seriously dropped the ball IMHO.

It's not the same question.

It did happen. You're just ignorant.

Been happening since the 1850s.

It's not the same question.

Don't give open access of guns to a mentally ill kid who's obsessed with school shootings. His mom was a dumb ****.

Now, what's your solution? Or do you just want to talk about Adam Lanza?

[ChumpDumper]

Adam Lanza was an adult.
