In addition to this, the connection between some/many/most school shootings needs to be studied. Unfortunately, actual and valid ways to prevent this sort of thing will never, ever be implemented, and instead people will come up with asinine things that don't work to give them a false sense of security.

And so it goes.

to get to a deeper level, human nature is inherently corrupt and peeps must fight to remain good in this corruptive world.

You could also argue that in a huge country like the USA, one shooting in a school every, I dunno, couple of months, aint (<-specifically for ZFR) that statistically meaningful
