school shootings in 2024 average 1.8 per every school day (0.9 at 365 calendar days a year). The next highest country - Mexico - has one every 24 school days (one every 46 calendar days)
I would not call that a deterrent.
Edit: oh God, it’s actually even worse. I assumed I was looking at yearly stats for Mexico. it was actually a decade. It’s one every 15 months
And this is probably higher than usual in Mexico, since the USA-backed “Guerra contra el narco”, started in 2006-2007, brought a lot of violence and firearms, the latter mostly from the USA.
Fortunately, we’ve been recovering from those levels of violence consistently since 2021.
