Gun fired nobody injured? Oh, that is OK then. That does not count. If the bullet ricocheted and hit someone, it would count. Rules are tough to follow since they are so fluid.

Then why did three national news sources should this headline? Agenda much?

I don't know, why did the Daily Nation of KENYA carry this headline?

Well, if the bullet didn't hit anyone, fuck it.

It's just like the new headline in Variety, "14 new Avengers movies came out and nobody knew." Ergo, they didn't happen.

Oh wait, that didn't happen.

And now for the actual breakdown;

"recorded 17 incidents where guns were fired at schools or colleges in 2018. There were six shootings at K-12 schools where at least one victim was killed or wounded"

If you want to deflect with numbers and what constitutes a school, fine, but "six shootings at K-12 schools where at least one victim was killed or wounded" is horrific, and we are only at mid February. Was a time once even a kid having a gun in a school was a scandal, now actual kids getting shot is as American as apple pie

Because they have an AGENDA.

[SmarterthanYou]

even a claim of 18 school shootings doesn't seem to be enough of a wake up call to put guns in schools to defend our kids. instead, the desired response is more prohibition, which is obviously why nobody can seem to get their hands on heroin.

Some of us think it is bad when a kid takes a gun to school.

Committing suicide is bad if you happened to be parked in a school parking lot or not. But that's not what several of the mainstream "news" outlets were reporting on.

"No, there haven’t been 18 school shootings in 2018. That number is flat wrong."

What number of school shootings would be acceptable?

[Nordberg]

Because they have an AGENDA.

Just not the same as yours?

No.
