This makes me wonder, when was the last day that the US actually experienced 0 school shootings?

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.

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.
