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.

Maybe parents should raise their kids with dignity and respect and a dose of responsibility, maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone.

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.

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.

We're forced to have cars because we've been denied effective public transportation, even in metropolitan areas.
