Where Will The Next School Massacre Be?

[Davey Jones' Locker 1,324]

From a new study out today:


"Mass killings with firearms occur on average every two weeks in the United States, and school shootings tend to occur about once a month, according to background information in the article.

States with high levels of gun ownership were far more likely to have a higher rate of mass killings with firearms, school shootings and mass shootings, the study said."

So states where there are a lot of guns have a higher percentage change of a school shooting that states with less guns....

 

did they really need a 'study' to get to that assumption?

So there really is a link between having a gun to be able to shoot someone and not having a gun?

I also think the problem is a lot more deep rooted than just guns being easily available. Even in England before gun laws became stricter following the Hungerford and Dunblaine killings, homicides where guns were involved were few and far between.

Given the number of Yanks who swallow the NRA's bollocks, the answer is evidently "Yes".

Her daycare has had a couple field trips to this theatre including two weeks ago.

It's more like locking the stable door after the horse has already bolted. The gunman acted alone, no terrorist organization has claimed responsibility and even if they did, they wouldn't try the same thing twice so soon after this incident.

Going on as we speak!

One person has been killed during a shooting on the campus of Delta State University in Mississippi and the university is on lockdown following reports of an active shooter on campus.

History professor , no great loss.

 

SC , one death dies not a massacre make. I think it is 1 on more than 2 occassions to be a serial killer, can't mind the one for a massacre, but it ain't 'one'.

 

Has potential though

Only if he was the sole victim. Otherwise it is par for the course.

Seems like gunman may be another Proffesor http://www.14news.com/story/30025217/active-shooter-at-delta-state-university?clienttype=generic but I guess that's a bit academic now.

To be fair to Sir Creep, it was ongoing, as stated, and the gunman was on the loose. Is it Sir Creep's fault he didn't reload?

it was just another everyday gun shooting as opposed to the weekly gun massacres in America we'll have another one of those any day now though...

Correct Guesty, seems there is a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College, Oregon in progress - far as I can tell at least ten dead.
