May 4 2017 - Stalker killed his crush and then himself. Not really a school shooting.
April 10 2017 - Man goes to school to kill his ex-wife and then himself, also killing a student in the process. Again, not really a school shooting. (Which, by the way, is the incident alluded to in my previous post.)
Jan 20 2017 - Student tries to shoot other student in bathroom. Again, not really what comes to mind when somebody thinks "school shooting."
And that's EVERYTHING that happened in 2017. Unlike what people think about when they hear "school shooting" -- ie, an indiscriminate rampage going for a body count (Columbine, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, etc) -- all of these were targeted attacks which merely happened to take place at a school
I mean, they're still bad for the same reason that school shootings are bad. You've got somebody with more access to guns than to mental health services killing children at school. That's really not something you should be trying to downplay.
think his point is, its more of a murder than a school shooting. school shooting gives the implication of mass murder. also there was a story of a guy going into a school with a compound bow and shooting a dude in the head, should we restrict access to bows as well? hell they are easy enough to make if you know what the hell you are doing. ---
