pastermil'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
This makes me wonder, when was the last day that the US actually experienced 0 school shootings?
Probably some time during the Clinton administration, if not even longer ago.
What about the Covid period? Kinda hard to have a school shooting when kids aren’t going to school, I’d imagine.
The zoom shootings were just sort of embarrassing for everyone involved, so they stopped doing them.
Imagine one guy in Zoom going “POP POP POP POP POP” in front of his computer and the other kids switching off their cameras one by one as they are “hit”.

~~Life~ Death finds a way
ryannathansAbout 3000 school shootings since 1966, so very frequently
what the actual fuck
It’s already been 2 days since the last mass shooting, and the number of school shootings per year never exceed the number of days in a year, so it’s safe to say we still have gaps, but especially in recent years, the numbers are… not looking good.
As in: just 15 days out of all of 2023 had no school shootings.
Do kids go to school every day of the year? I thought they where free on weekends and hollidays.
I acknowledge your point but in fairness the question was when was the last day we experienced no school shootings
Then you need to consider unreported school shootings.
If somebody goes on a Sunday and starts shooting, will they know if the bullet holes are new or from the last shooting?
Damn, that’s insane. I live in the UK, so my exposure to this stuff is mostly either a regular throughline of offhanded jokes about Americans and their guns, and occasionally the news becoming dominated by an especially bad shooting. We’re quite separated from the constant reality of it, because so much of it does just fade into the background, to be highlighted only as statistics
All the students at my local high school staged a coordinated walk out without any adult intervention to march and protest the gun violence on campus. Hundreds of kids. It didn’t even make the news.
Props to them. I’m always heartened to see how much more politically engaged the younger generation is compared to mine.

Well, it wouldn’t be as noteable if the school shooting happened when kids are not at school. If we go by the oen that seems most common, there’s 180 school days in the US (because no other countries need these kinds of staticstics),2025 is even on track for missing 1 a day, since it’s on 159, and we’re almost at the christmas break.
But it is close, and other years after 2021 have been 250+ which is more than 1 per school day, according to your source.
Not sure why the school shootings increased drastically after 2021. 🤷
