I’m not making a point on that. I’m just saying that you can argue with numbers and not only with statements that can just be denied with statements saying otherwise. As a foreigner to the USA, I don’t even care about that specific discussion. Before and after Columbine there were way too many school shootings in the USA, anyway. Their numbers on this have always been stupidly high.
Definitely, raw data never tells the full story. Just pointing out in this specific case, Columbine was certainly an inflection point, and the presence/absence of school security seems hard to use as a metric for before/after.
