The threat of a mass shooting at a school pales in comparison to the threat of being hit by a car walking/biking to school. But there's no kids talking about how they are terrified to walk to school, because a car is going to hit them when they cross the street.
But because of the willingness of the media to let people draw the wrong conclusions, you'd never know that there is a super tiny amount of danger from gun violence at a school.
The whole thing is so phony. A bunch of teens and 20 somethings acting like their end is imminent. And then they pile into a civic, and do 95 down the free way while texting. There is a disconnect between what is presented as the real threat to their lives, and what's actually a threat to their lives that the media and adults who know better are complicit in letting them believe.
I think the whole gun control thing would be more compelling if so much of it wasn't disingenuous.

Is your assertion people shouldn't want to own a gun for self-defense, because it's likely someone is going to murder them with a gun?
