There's someplace where the chances are exactly zero?

The fact that schools have active shooter drills says more about the disclaim-all-liability culture of schools here than it does about gun violence. The more pervasive gun violence problem is outside of schools, and is more a result of a systemic collapse of order in inner cities. The lone-wolf school shooters just make better headlines.

There is no such place. American gun control advocates like to point to the UK, where we completely banned (certain kinds of) gun after a major school shooting and haven't had any since, but there's been enough near-misses where some kid got to the point where they could have shot up their school if not for rethinking at the last minute that even here the chance of one happening is obviously still above zero.

But like, I would expect similar headlines from all around the world had this been true. Meanwhile, the one place you see these news from extraordinary often is America. (Second runner are former ISIS territories where they terrorist attract girls schools occasionally.)
