US uni first years meeting each other soon: So how many shootings did you have at your school?

The US approach to preventing mass shootings is apparently to develop herd immunity

You start hitting people with small calibre bullets and then slowly move to bigger ones.

Not even more guns?

Jiminy Cricket I can’t believe this is where we’ve ended up and it’s not constant pressure from all politicians to fix this. Obligatory Onion:

I know the US doesn't allow internal studying of gun violence statistics because reasons but I feel like we can start making some disturbing extrapolations based on the extremely disturbingly high number of people who've survived MULTIPLE school shootings at this point.

I suppose we could do something about gun violence here, but for now I'm just making sure that I don't go to school with Tretta and Weissman.
