> Amazing that you can look at kids being shot in primary schools and then try to analyze it statistically.

You have to. For effective policy you need to distance yourself from the deed no matter how terrible they are. All other venues for grief are better than policies motivated by retribution, which will very likely not lead to constructive outcomes and resulting in repeats. Otherwise you end up invading random countries because someone attacked you.

There is a psychological dimension to your kid having to confront the possibility of being shot in school being mere numbers of deaths.
