Not sure school shooters are generally known for their careful, rational assessment of their situation. barfo
Not sure we have evidence for that. I suspect school shooters choose schools because that's what they are familiar with, not because of the softness of the target. Hospitals would be another soft target, but you don't see a lot of teenagers shoot up hospitals. Or yoga studios, or nursing homes, or knitting clubs... barfo
You specifically asked for one good thing... *Edit* Of course, you asked some other stuff in that post as well... But that's not going to happen...
You've never lived next door to a bully, have you? The minority knows how to shove around anyone including the majority. That's why we have police.
I had a big stick but if you've ever been circled by a pit bull & 2 Rottweilers, one man with a bat wouldn't last to long. Sure one on one but three pack dogs, nope. Assholes that allow dogs like that to run freely like that are lookin for trouble.
US violent crime and murder rates have dropped more than UK violent crime and murder rates since the mid 90s. This after the UK limited access to guns, and the US doubled the number of guns and let the assault weapons ban expire. The US is a violent place... There are at least hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses per year in the US. https://datavisualizations.heritage.org/firearms/defensive-gun-uses-in-the-us/ How many of those would have resulted in a violent crime or murder without guns?
A handgun is far more dangerous in a school than any rifle that is legal to buy without a special ATF permit... And easier to conceal. Where is the law to ban handguns?
