        How much are YOU being paid by the NRA to downplay this tragedy??? Stop being part of the problem and contribute to the solution. #GunControlNow

        Okay I get that some of them shouldn’t be considered “school shootings” but you are nitpicking to supply your article. If someone shoots a gun at a school, on school grounds, etc it’s a school shooting. I don’t care if someone gets killed or injured.

        So it’s not 18. But the 6 you verified as related to gun violence are not enough to be upset about. 6. Since January 1st. Normal? NOT!!

        So students getting access to the guns that are supposed to be under the control of an authorized adult isn’t a concern? Fine 17/18 incidents with guns 16 the number is too high at 1! Stop making excuses and down playing this tragedy

        Hey, how about #sofuckingwhat. Your headline is just as unnecessary as inflating statistics, because you make it seem like school shootings aren't that big of a problem. As in, "Cmon, guys, you totally have the wrong idea here!" #GunContolNow #GunReformNow

        Agree the stat is misleading. But just focus on how many there have been. Or attempted. Your headline makes it sound like it only happens once a decade. I dont care if its only 3 this year thats still too many.

        Hence the “5 to many” 18 is a totally dishonest.

        1. It’s “too” not “to”. 2. You’re not a liberal as evidenced by a cursory glance at your timeline and your use of the term “fake news”. 3. The article had already corrected prior new releases and explained the caveats.

        You got me!! “Corrected” No they knew that it was misleading. One day you may wake up to the fact that the main stream press is basically a democrat propaganda machine but I doubt it.

        You assume that someone’s handle is always about themselves, that’s your mistake not mine. Also, it’s obvious the Press is biased if you can’t see it you’re not looking or maybe you just like to hear your own beliefs all day.

        Oh? Is that why the press droned on ad nauseum about Hillary’s e-mails, because they were a Democratic propaganda outlet?
