@chu they've normalized kids getting shot to death in math class, there's no limit

@AlexanderVI Your chance of getting struck by lightening in your life is x2 higher than your chance of dieing in a school shooting in your lifetime. No one normalized kids getting shot, it is such a rare event it has never been a "nornal" thing, tragic yes, but exceedingly rare with literally every other threat being bigger than it.
@freemo @AlexanderVI I call bullshit on that, the lightning mortality rate is calculated on the whole population, whereas you should take the population in schools (students and teachers/staff) to calculate it. Let’s say 10% of the USA pop is in school on average to make the maths easy: that would give a person in school 10x the chance of being shot vs being hit by lightning. And as others have noted, it easily preventable, as every other country on the planet demonstrates.
When did I say anything about the mortality with regards to lightening. Read what I said before "calling bullshit". I compared being **struck** by lightening (since it's a well known extremely rare event). Said nothing about being killed by it
And yes school shootings are absolutely preventable I agree. By having reasonable access to mental health it can be easily avoided and we absolutely should. I never said it shouldn't be avoided only that focusing on it as a point of fear, given its extreme rarity is silly
