It’s already been 2 days since the last mass shooting, and the number of school shootings per year never exceed the number of days in a year, so it’s safe to say we still have gaps, but especially in recent years, the numbers are… not looking good.
As in: just 15 days out of all of 2023 would have had no school shootings, if there was only 1 per day.
Damn, that’s insane. I live in the UK, so my exposure to this stuff is mostly either a regular throughline of offhanded jokes about Americans and their guns, and occasionally the news becoming dominated by an especially bad shooting. We’re quite separated from the constant reality of it, because so much of it does just fade into the background, to be highlighted only as statistics
Imagine one guy in Zoom going “POP POP POP POP POP” in front of his computer and the other kids switching off their cameras one by one as they are “hit”.
Don’t make it a game pls. Like I know we are desensitized because it happens often but making it grandiose only adds to the confusion. There should be 0 zoom shootings like there should be 0 school shootings in an academic year
This makes me wonder, when was the last day that the US actually experienced 0 school shootings?
Last Sunday, 'cause no school?
Also, from what I’ve read so far there wasn’t one on the 1st, so it seems odd they’d specifically single out the 2nd

Do kids go to school every day of the year? I thought they where free on weekends and hollidays.
I acknowledge your point but in fairness the question was when was the last day we experienced no school shootings
It also means if we take out the weekends and holidays from the equation that there were more school shootings than school days in that year.
Then you need to consider unreported school shootings.
If somebody goes on a Sunday and starts shooting, will they know if the bullet holes are new or from the last shooting?
So, technically last Sunday, probably.
Kinda depressing to think it doesn’t stop during the weekends. Fairnff that that was the question tho.
About 3000 school shootings since 1966, so very frequently

what the actual fuck
Probably some time during the Clinton administration, if not even longer ago.
What about the Covid period? Kinda hard to have a school shooting when kids aren’t going to school, I’d imagine.
The zoom shootings were just sort of embarrassing for everyone involved, so they stopped doing them.
