A school age child is nearly 200x more likely to die by suicide than from a school shooting. That's a tragedy. And that's _avoidable_. Which do you hear about more?
The attention and resources of society are limited. We would be better off allocating resources to bigger problems, but we don't. That's a tragedy.
The rest of the world doesn't have the school shooter problem.
It's fixable, and the fix is bleedingly obvious. There's no excuse.
