    Let me make two notes:

    A “school shooting” is any time a gun goes off on any school grounds. You can go to the elementary soccer field and put one in the ground at midnight, “school shooting”. Mass shootings are not what you picture in your mind when that word comes up.

    The Gun Violence Archive and Everytown for Gun Safety are two of the most biased sources related to guns.
