    As my boys get ready for a new school year, I can’t stop thinking about how active-shooter drills are now part of back-to-school rituals, not unlike buying school supplies or going to teacher conferences. It’s a shocking reality that we simply cannot accept or stay silent on.

        Maybe take down the “gun free zone” signs. . . It almost seems like an invitation to a crazy person.

        Or at least make them bigger and bulletproof so that the kids can hide behind them. That’s the only way I see a Gun Free Zone sign savings anyone’s life.

        Those are the odds for a given school day, week, semester, year or over a child’s entire school career?

        The odds of all 1,528 casualties over 254 years being in a school shooting in one year. 1,528 / 116,000,000 = 0.000013172413793 so actual risk is much lower. School shooting casualties are rising exponentially; calculating current risk is part of what we’re working on. #FixItpic.twitter.com/JeU72mRILB

        Thanks. I really liked your data set/analysis. Not sure the math just presented is a fair representation of risk. The answer to - What is the probability of my child being in a shooting isn’t the total number of shootings all-time divided by school population.

        Last year 45 000+ died in car accidents across USA. Hundreds of thousands seriously injured. Kids have incredible higher odds getting hurt/ killed traveling to and from school

        Yes but we understand main drivers of auto accidents - Speed & human error. @Rosackgroup work will be important to understand why the trendline has gone exponential. Comparitive risk matters but reducing absolute risk does too. I’m a good driver, I’d rather my kid not b shot.

        As my children get ready for the New School year, I think about the degrading public school system and the embrace of Charter Schools in my state which I can't afford and how sometimes I feel like I'd be better off without them because of how economically disaffected I am.

        I’m sure your boys will be going to a private school we’re these things don’t happen. My concern is the murderers in our schools, you know the ms-13 murderers that you and the rest of the dems love so much. Are you and your family still members of NXIVM? Just asking for a friend
