Do you think they’re higher or lower than those without college degrees?


I'd guess higher but that's just a guess

A lot of blue collar and military guys that didn't go to college have pretty decent gun collections

most private schools have on duty security- usually off duty policeman
Is that true? My wife taught at a private school ad there was no security. I taught high school at a private school for one year and there was no security? Don't know if our experiences were atypical or not.

Both of us in Los Angeles, but many moons ago. 1994 for me; somewhere around 1993-2001 for her.

But are the shooters coming from lower socioeconomic areas? The ones I can think of off the top of my head cam from affluent homes. Adam Lanza, Harris and Klebold at Columbine all came from upper middle class families.



like I said, I'm not denying outliers, but if I were a betting man, I'd say most of the shooters fit into either 1 or both of these categories

a - lower class family

b - broken family

And the answer is that private school children will mostly come from more affluent households which also tend to have more stability and parental structures in place.


Weird answer. Littleton was a nice upper middle class suburb.

You’re overly sensitive about a legitimate question. I’ll guess the question is thus on target.

There is no socioeconomic profile of school shooters. Try again.

Overly sensitive? I think the answer is obvious.

Columbine too. And this district of Parkland FL seems to be a fairly affluent area.

Ok. Can you explain it to me then?

Slowly though. I'm an idiot.

There is no socioeconomic component to the profile of a school shooter.

It depends on the private school. Your cheap ones that are less than 10k/year will not have much security, but your schools that are 11k plus have more. So yes, money is a factor. Our 17k/yr private school is locked down, with literal armed gaurds. The cheap 5k/yr church private school 5 miles from us has nothing. Anyone who thinks public schools have more funds than private obviously has no idea how little money public schools have for resources and for each student, which is why the high end private schools have better resources. I worked in public schools and also know high-end private schools well, the difference is vast. Money is the key, period.
