            Huh, you’re right! Also that makes me think of a very good solution to school shootings that somehow nobody is talking about, why don’t we just ban schools? If kids aren’t going to school in the first place then they aren’t going to get shot there. It’s so simple!

            Uh, the news. According to GunViolenceArchive (link here ) who are not themselves necessarily a reputable source but do gather their information from relatively reputable sources, mostly police records and government sources, they actually don’t have one listed for today! Hooray! But there was one yesterday in Florida and three more the day before that in Michigan, Indiana, and New Jersey.

            Days without shootings do happen but are shockingly rare. Just take a look at the list there.

                Nothing on that site claims that it’s “school” shooting. Just “Mass Shootings”.

                I really want a day without a school shooting.

                Who is telling you we have them everyday?

                Insert source unrelated to SCHOOL Shootings.

                The simple answer is that they don’t happen everyday…

                    Right… So where on that site does it say there’s a school shooting every day? Where on the source site that they were discussing (https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting)… does it say that as well?

                    @MNByChoice added relevance by stating that there was one for that day… They’re just behind. So where’s Monday? Last Week? The Week Before?

                    I looked at the site. I didn’t walk away with the idea that there’s school shootings every day. Virtually ALL of the recorded figures that I saw for weeks on end were 18+ and didn’t appear to be around schools.
