RE: Florida school shooting - Dan - Feb 15, 2018
Teachers should be allowed to carry if properly trained or licensed. Schools are gun-free zones, but non gun-free zones wouldn’t be as much of a target. You don’t see many mass shootings in courts, Police stations, gun shows, or nascar races because everyone’s packing. Killers want an easy target.

"Just seven weeks into 2018, there have been eight shootings at US schools that have resulted in injury or death." (The Guardian), you're a bit off with your numbers,
unless you have another source that says differently
My guess would be the media showcase this one specifically as it is the deadliest since Sandy Hook. If all we saw was school shootings on the news every week nobody would give a fuck

The media displays most if not all of them, people just don't pay attention. There was one just a few weeks ago in Kentucky that was all over the news.

My bad, 32 shootings (including schools) so far, probably much more. Anyway the fact that there have been 18 school shootings and we've only seen this one though the media is bad.

That statistic is also fairly wrong: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/no-there-havent-been-18-school-shooting-in-2018-that-number-is-flat-wrong/2018/02/15/65b6cf72-1264-11e8-8ea1-c1d91fcec3fe_story.html?utm_term=.3601f11446ad

https://abcnews.go.com/US/18-school-shootings-us-year-group/story?id=53091125. Different media outlets have different opinions.
Also who cares what the specific number is? The fact is it's all fucked up and there shouldn't be this many already.

You have a point. However I suppose most incidents of mass shootings the shooter has gotten his hands on a weapon legally, I believe its to late to restrict weapons. As america has as many guns as citizens, however maybe implementing higher requirements when buying a weapon. For example the person who buy's a weapon can only buy handguns for self defence and specific rifles for hunting only. However Im not here to discuss weapon laws only giving my 2 cents. Its a horrible event and my thoughts go out to the affected ones and their relatives and loved ones, its a shame this has been an occuring thing for the past years.
