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.

Frankly, it doesn’t matter what is and what is not counted as a school shooting. If one shooting happens, and one child is murdered-

It’s one too fucking many.

More kids die getting to school, more die from drowning, more die from preventable diseases...the only reason one is to many for you in this instance is because you hate the idea of an armed populous. It's not about the deaths, it's about how they die.

So… wait. You’re….. defending school shootings? If not then maybe back the fuck off. I’m simply saying ONE school shooting is too fucking many.

If you disagree with this. You have a SERIOUS problem.
