another day, another school shooting courtesy of the NRA.. 1 dead 8 wounded at STEM school in Colorado professor zovek May 08, 07:57

And as always, the media raced to glorify the shooter(s) by printing their name, picture, and story as quickly as possible. {nm} PhoneHome May 08, 09:00

when it (extremely rarely) happens outside the US, they print their names and pictures too. the reason it remains extremely rare is b/c guns {nm} professor zovek May 08, 09:36

1st, not the point. US, Zimbabwe, wherever, media needs to stop glorifying it. 2nd, you're wrong. 1,423 mass shootings outside US in 15 yrs. PhoneHome May 08, 10:35

the fact is you're wrong. professor zovek May 08, 11:20

Did you address murder rate worldwide? And no, stopping a shooter today does not resurrect dead people. Does that make stopping a shooter forlorne May 09, 07:28

it's not a zero sum game. you don't get all the dead ones back just because another shooting might be stopped. there will still be more dead professor zovek May 09, 09:14

Math is hard. If more deaths are prevented by stopping shooters than deaths caused by shooters, that is a net forlorne May 14, 05:15
