That's because those two things aren't true. It's a lie told by statistics.

Firearm violence in that demographic is largely from places like LA and Chicago where gangs are the problem and firearms are already illegal.

If you're scared for your child's life every day they go to school, you have been brainwashed by media FUD.

Last year there were 300 shootings on school grounds [0]. They seem to happen at random - expensive schools aren't necessarily safer than public ones, city vs. rural, etc.

Why is it wrong to have a heightened fear that it could happen at your school? That doesn't need to mean that it is your primary fear, or that you're overwhelmed with fear, only that the concern is higher now than it was X years ago.

What are we doing differently than every other country that makes us have so many more shootings in schools?
