School Shootings That Weren't

One of the most basic things the anti-gun fools misreport is that of school shootings. They pounce on any shooting NEAR a school and report it as a “school shooting.” When they do, they include any shooting that happens within hearing of a school, and that included many gang shootings that are not connected to the schools. Some of those shootings occur blocks away from a school, but are included in the “school shootings” figures they put out. One major flaw in the reporting can be attributed to the Education Department. Put out by the government’s Civil Rights Data Collection, it lists 235 “school shootings” one year. But when their figures were verified by National Public Radio (NPR), not a known conservative organization, they could only confirm 11 actual school shootings. The problem is, they depend on the schools to tell them about “school shootings,” and do nothing to verify the reports. When told about the “problem,” they said they’d “look into it, and correct their figures.” But they do not plan to PUBLISH their new figures, leaving that faulty “study” in place for anti-gun fools to cite, to support their silly anti-gun laws.
