There have been over 200 school shooting incidents ― an average of nearly one a week ― since the horrifying morning when 20-year-old Adam Lanza marched into Sandy Hook Elementary School and did the unthinkable.
Not.

I have a problem with the Bearing Arms one....they actually counted some that were in the "planning" stages, that hadn't been carried out yet.

Otherwise this is really interesting.

Isn't that the list where Everytown included as a "school shooting" the Dallas Police Murders by the deranged radical?

Yeah, riiiiiiight.

Bearing Arms was very "generous" with the definition of "school shooting" by design. If they had adhered to the strict definition most of us agree with, they would have left the door open to some very public criticism in the media if they had made one little mistake. Using a broad definition, they were still able to make Everytown look like the fools they are.

oh I agree they made them look like fools, but still to say that it was a shooting when a shot wasn't even fired? I'm not sure about that....

I have to admit that I have fantasized from time to time about an armed revolt. I'm sure others have done the same. So I guess we have had hundreds of civil wars so far in our nation's history....
