I'M GLAD I HAVE NO KIDS

It isn’t about the culture nor the tools. People don’t realize that there have been mass shootings at schools for over 100 years in the US.

During the 1890s, 10 schoolchildren and 1 school teacher were killed in one shooting. Another where 4 schoolchildren and 14 others of unknown age were killed. Between them, 1 high school Professor and 18 others were wounded.

As a percentage of the population, the same percent were killed and wounded in the late 1800s as were killed and injured in the late 1900s.

The shooters in the 1800s had zero cultural commonality with the shooters in the 1900s. The only thing in common was between the ears of the people deciding to do it.

The solution lies in detecting and treating people before they go down the path of destroying innocent lives.
