Myth No. 10. "School violence is rampant."

It may seem so, with media attention focused on a spate of school
shootings. In fact, school shootings are extremely rare. Even
including the more common violence that is gang-related or
dispute-related, only 12 to 20 homicides a year occur in the 100,000
schools in the U.S. In general, school assaults and other violence
have dropped by nearly half in the past decade.

I am glad that you find this level school shooting acceptable


Absolutely a total dishonest response - Popeye did not in anyway claim
that - try to be honest instead of twisting what was actually said


It's all he's got.

all I've got is Aus strict gun laws lower gun crime rate, gun crime has
decreased since they were tightened. America slack gun laws ( for
historical reasons ) a disproportionate number of gun massacres. Is there
a direct correlation I think there is others on this ng disagree. Will
introducing tougher gun laws in the US help? don't know as it is such a
gun culture

It's because you're so stupid.

There are already nearly 30,000 gun laws in the U.S..

don't seem to work very well to stop the high rate of gun crime


In general, and without special permit, weapons are already illegal to
carry.

Criminals, who commit the vast majority of gun crimes, do not obey gun
laws.

exactly why I questioned if tougher gun lasws would work


-Gun- crime in Australia may be down, but, crime isn't.

your point being what?
