    There is one common thread running through every shooting.
    Be it a class room, South Side Chicago, movie theater, suicide, lovers quarrel etc etc etc

    One common thread
    The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.

    Not well publicized, or maybe parts of civil rights/anti-Vietnam violence? That's my best guess, but I wasn't alive back then. I'm guessing that's the reason for the lack of answers.

    Some of it caused by bullying which schools do not monitor closely unlike when we grew up.

    Haha, no, and it's a far more relevant answer. Because the likelihood of getting shot, in absolute terms, is less meaningful than it is in relative terms.

    I mean, if you can look at 17,000 children and teens shot in a year and say "yeah, but what are the ODDS," I don't really know what to tell you.

    My point was how the dumb the sign was... you then derived to the home... so I simply asked you what the math said there.

    The sign is dumb

    Depression is not caused by bullying
    People suffering from depression are prime candidates to be bullied,
    Not a psychologist dont quote me. Anecdotal evidence


    What I am talking about is the classification itself on what is and isn't considered an insurable preexisting condition

    Florida put a person from the agricultural departments mailroom in charge of doing fun background checks for guns. That employee lost the password so no checks were done for about a year.....

    Kid posts his rap online with the picture of a gun. A kid tells a parent, parent calls police, police call SWAT to the school. Schools not even in session, its being used for a music concert. 30 minutes into searching the school campus for a kid not there while telling everyone to hide from an active shooter the mom finds out they are looking for her son and calls to find out why. When police told her she drove him to the police station where they arrested him on charges of creating a "false public alarm". And despite having him in jail still canceled the music concert. They want to send this kid to prison for 5-10 years.
