More people have died in school shootings in the United States than those serving in the U.S Military so far in 2018!!

31 people have died from school shootings compared to 29 in the US Military service members in the same period!!.

This doesn't mean that schools are more dangerous that active duty military service as more than 50 million students attend public schools compared to 1.3 million people in the military. A military memeber however is 40 times as likely to be killed as a public student is to be shot to death

It's unusual though that school shooting deaths surpass military deaths in the us...for example, in 2017 more than 6 times as many American service members died th an victims of school shootings did.

2018 however is shaping up to be a deadly year for schools when comparing data from previous years as more people were killed in school shootings in 2018 than in any other year since 2000.

When adding up school shootings from 2000-2017, just for the period through May 18 each of those years totaled 36 deaths..just below the 31 in the same period in 2018

The US had 38,658 gun deaths in 2016 including suicides

Do you feel safe in America? -

There are too many weirdos out there today... it's not a safe place.

Bottom line is.. when you're in a public place.. whether you're at work or school. Treat people the way you want to be treated and don't piss anyone off.

Given that we're technically not at war with anybody (well, other than "terror"), there shouldn't be that many military deaths right now.

Other than the possibility of anyplace being burned to the ground by BLM because a kid reached for an officer's gun and the rarer chance of a terrorist attack, sure.

If it's not with a gun then the motivated will find another implement. We need to address what motivates them, not the tools they use.

The USA is a mess. There's a lot of money, technology, and military might, but also tons of poverty/crumbling infrastructure, entitlement, and stupid decisions. Nowhere is perfect, but it'd take an awful lot of wealth for me to entertain living there. I honestly feel sorry for my friends there in some ways. I've been to about a dozen states and I've met lots of nice people. Most of criticisms are directed at the bad 1%'ers rigging the game in their favour and the government being beholden to them.

I see it happening sooner, but wont happen till this current generation gets into power/senate.
So we are still 25-50 years out of anything starting to happen

I'll take my 17,250/323,400,000 chance of being killed. Those are pretty good numbers.

That's a .005333951762523% chance I would have been killed on any random day in 2016 based on the numbers I used.

It sounds macabre, but the news isn't all that scary.

So more gunless kids in gun-free zones have died than armed people in warzones? Interesting.

The statistic is incredibly misleading though, considering that students outnumber active military at a ratio of something like 25:1. Not to mention a lot of the "school shootings" listed in statistics aren't actual school shootings.

The United States as a country will cease to exist long before the second amendment gets anywhere near repealed. It isn't going to happen.

Laws only affect people who will obey them, which typically excludes mass murderers.

It's happened once. The major difference being that the amendment being repealed was the only amendment that restricted individual rights, rather than recognizing or granting rights.

Most likely is a person confused over what those two words means but feels totally comfortable using them.

Unless you are going send police (armed with guns) to come confiscate the guns, they will still be available. Also, you can bet your ass that homemade guns would become a huge black market if somehow guns were ever banned.

It won't ever happen though.
