I'm sure someone has done the math on it, how many of these mass shootings were right wingers? How many were not right wing trans people?
Try the Southern Poverty Law Center
U S A! NUMBER ONE!
Can you just pay teachers fucking living wage?
No. We can arm them with AR15s though
They'll have to pay for the ammo themselves, of course.
Just like any other classroom supply.
It's mixing mass shooting with mass killing.
The first number deals with people shot, and the second counts incidents where four or more people died from their injuries. I believe the second number isn't just gun violence - so stabbings or vehicular homicide are counted - but I'm not sure because the number of mass attacks are far lower when the victim can avoid injury by moving only three feet to one side.
The number of mass shootings, where 4+ people were injured by guns but less than 4 were killed, has been as many as 9 in one day.
I think the number of strictly school shootings is more than 38 this year. Like, a Columbine somewhere, every pay-cheque.
Look at all the good all those good guys with guns are doing. /s
