Do you need a particular body count to make a real school shooting ?
It would be funny if it was not so tragic.

I am pretty sure you are being intentionally dense, but to humor you anyway, the hype and panic surrounding "school shootings" is based on the fear of a deranged person carrying out a mass shooting of random victims for the sole purpose of racking up a high body count.
You don't think of 2 people having an argument that turns violent. That's just not something that human beings will ever stop doing.
You don't usually think of 20 something gangsters who have been held back for years because they can't graduate taking their gang beefs to high school and carrying out a premeditated killing or attempted murder of one person.
You don't think about a depressed person offing them self in their apartment late at night a half a block from a school that may or may not be open at that time.
You don't think of an armed robbery or drug buy gone bad that happened in a high school parking lot in the wee hours of the morning.
Those are all situations that are and always have been avoidable, with or without a gun.
"Everytown for gun safety" is not a parents group and their propaganda is not viral. It's a made up organization financed by Bloomberg, the same genius that banned high capacity soft drinks and thinks he can buy the 2nd amendment. His idiotic and meaningless map of non events would be literally nowhere if he didn't pay for massive media buys labeling it "viral".
