Yeah but they are calling anything “gun violence”

On the front page of their statistics alone, there was one where they counted a couple thousand kids because a rifle accidentally went off and shot a car. The first 5 stats I saw had about 7,000 students counted with 0 deaths and 2 injuries. 4 of the 5 statistics had 0 deaths and 0 injuries. I wouldn’t call that gun violence, maybe a scare but not violence.

Gun violence is definitely an issue but these numbers are massively inflated.

Hello there! In general would you say this is a disturbing job or not too bad? Do you have a script you need to follow for the most part?

Wow! Quite different then I was expecting. Thanks for doing this, fun to learn about such an interesting career. Cheers!

Don’t get me wrong, guns at school are never ok in my book, especially if they are being fired.

I am a father and I hope my kids never have to deal with this type of thing.

However There is a big difference between a gun being shot accidentally and someone actively trying to kill people. There needs to be better terms in place because these people just look foolish comparing columbine to someone’s car being shot. Both scary no doubt but one almost infinitely more life changing than the other.

When I was a kid, one of my classmates shot himself during school. It was terrifying and unbelievably sad. All of my peers I grew up with seemed to be ok in the long run though. I can’t imagine it’s the same for the people who have survived the school massacres and their loved ones.
