The latter is true but the rest is bunk.
Could you elaborate? I'm sincerely unsure what you're saying. Thanks in advance!
Nobody needs a gun for school. And the risk from school shootings is vastly overblown. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to minimize the risk, but the people living in fear of this are victims of mass media frenzy and poor risk assessment.
By that logic you should never wear a seatbelt.
Thank you for so brilliantly driving my point home. You just completely ignored when I said we should strive to reduce the risk and have completely ignored that death via vehicle accident is 800 times more likely to happen.
I honestly couldn't have proven my point better.
