High school shooting in Parkland FL

[pocaracas]

woo hooo... 2 per week?... One per week, one per month, one per year... How many is too many?
If there's a rate at which this sort of thing happens, it's not ok, by my book.

Nowhere did I say any rate was okay. My point is that introducing exaggerated claims, or conflating accidents and suicides in with shooting, does nothing to advance the conversation.

That depends on which conversation you want to have, no?

Any of those 3 categories have a high incidence exactly due to the wide availability of guns.
Accidents with firearms rarely happen in Europe. Suicides, too... and, of course, shootings.
