Since 2013, 7,300 Children have been murdered by gun, ACROSS AMERICA.

Why is so much emphasis being placed on preventing only 1/2 of 1%, of the firearm murders of our nation's children? Just the School Shootings?
Are the other 99.5% of children murdered by gun, acceptable losses?
God I hope our country has not become that dysfunctional and callous!

and some Americans want to spend 15-20 billion a year on immigration.
98000 Public Schools
33000 Private Schools
Now, two Federally Fund two retired LEO's MIlitary per school each year, remember summers off so 9 months.
30k a year salaries for each equals about 8 billion a year.
Now there are already schools with these measures in place so why not provide them with the 60k to fortify their schools?
Still less than a military jet project and we get to protect our kids....

But the purpose of THIS THREAD is to point out how illogical it is to dedicate so many resources to only solving 1/2 of 1% of the GUNS KILLING CHILDREN problem. Try to solve 100%. We won't get there anytime soon, but at least try to save more than 1/2 of 1%, for cryin out loud.

I suspect not.
I would also suspect that it was because, and here's the shocker, kids were taught to use them properly, respect them as the dangerous, if misused, tools that they are. From. A. Very. Young. Age.
Just a thought.

I think you've identified the propaganda element.
Propaganda? Every mass shooting you have people try to get tighter restrictions on automatic weapons.
You only see it as propaganda due to been accustomed to people dying from guns every day over there. Obviously the mass shootings, especially at schools, are the ones that bring more notice to the problem.
It'll change soon, new in , old out.
