Yeah, the “high schooler shoots up a school” or “crazy guy shoots up a mall” school shootings are incredibly rare. The majority of “mass shootings” are gang related violence. And even if you include all the instances and assumed you were equally likely to be involved in any of them (you aren’t), it would still be incredibly unlikely for you to ever be involved in such a situation.
Gun deaths in general are not what most people imagine they are. 2/3 of them are suicides. Of the remaining 1/3, they will almost certainly be perpatrated by someone the victim had a pre-existing relationship with.
Not to say that gun violence is not a problem. But the view some of the lunatics on this site seem to have - that going out to eat lunch in America is more dangerous than living in Gaza - is just completely false.
We’re mostly agreed. But suicides and “gang violence” and “man shoots family” shouldn’t be discounted, but OTOH, they don’t count as random, and random is what most people fear. Gun violence isn’t random. Vehicular death is random, at about the same rate. And we don’t talk about that.
Always said, America doesn’t have a gun problem. We have a culture problem.
