The date regarding school shootings is not as clear as the “main stream media” and gun “control” advocates would have you believe. But facts never stopped anyone from getting their agenda out.
And before someone accuses me of being “OK” with this and accepting it as “collateral damage” to my belief in the second amendment, you are wrong.
Now, let us not forget significant societal changes in our nation. They do play a role and just saying that you’ll take all the guns is not going to change that. Our increased drug usage, medicating everything, explosion of children growing up without fathers actively in their lives (across all races), decline in marital rates (which affects poverty), and several other reasons. This is not a one item cure. Though that seems to be the mantra of the left. Ban guns and all those problems go away. They don’t and they won’t.
I have a close personal friend that works in a busy trauma center in Massachusetts which has quite restrictive firearms laws that are pointed to as models for gun control. The number of stabbings has, for years and years, drastically outnumbered deaths and injuries from firearms.
