[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over react much? A mass shooting was your first thought? Amazing. [/quote]

Not an overreaction. My DS is twelve and so far we have dealt with a rumor (thankfully false) of a gun threat, and when he was in preschool, he had to be evacuated due to a bomb threat (also thankfully unfounded).

Not an overreaction?? Both examples you gave were...overreactions.

OP, you are paranoid.  The media sensationalizes shootings.  There have been 15 school shootings (of those, 4 were university)in the US this year and there are over 132,000 k-12 schools.  That puts the odds of a mass shorting happening at your child's school closer to zero than pretty much any other bad thing that could happen.  [/quote]

These statistics are horrifying, but what’s even worse, is your passive acceptance of this problem. It seems people an rationalize anything.[/quote]

NP. Link for above stat? I’d be curious to know how many of those schools had shootings 20-35 years ago. When you had to ride a school bus and wear a patrol belt.[/quote]
