This is already extremely infrequent. It's a horrible tragedy, but statistically, how much less can it even happen?

How much money will be wasted just to make these hoops that make you feel good about yourself?

uhhh...what? wasn't aware that was my agenda. making myself feel better.

AND, if one life is spared due to them, its worth it.

I do agree the frequency is low, but one event that could've been lessened is too many.

Relative to the rest of the world, the US is an outlier on the frequency of these mass shootings.

Seriously. This doesn't happen as often as people think at all.

The number of such incidents in the US was only one less than in all the other 36 countries put together. In 13 of those countries there were no incidents at all, either actual or attempted.

In 2010, the US was home to a population of approximately 309 million. The populations of these other countries totaled 3.8 billion.



And this doesnt even factor in the fact the US had an extreme uptick in school shootings since 2011......

Considering how often it happens in the US vs the rest of the world?

You asked how much less can it happen? Isn't it happening more now than say 20, 30 or 40 years ago?
