27 so far this year. Not rare. Not rare enough by a long shot.[/quote]

27 out of 100,000 school. How often do car accidents occur? [/quote]

I guess the point is that while we feel accidents are just that -- accidents -- mass shootings are intentional and so potentially more avoidable. They require planning and getting guns, and they are often preceded by declarations (though maybe there are also many false declarations, I dunno).

At a minimum, securing guns to make it harder for people under the age of 21 to get their hands on them shouldn't be controversial. How to secure them I dunno. But I think I read this guy went out and bought the guns himself. I'm surprised that an 18-year-old can't legally buy a beer but can legally buy two guns ... And yes, yes, no solution is perfect, and no policy change will cover *all* possible cases and remove *all* risks, but that doesn't mean you should do *nothing*... [/quote]

Also, unfortunately, automobile deaths are now rarer than gun deaths for children: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/firearms-are-now-the-leading-cause-of-death-for-us-children/ar-AAXGZvU

I just wish it was harder for anyone to get access to guns -- why are things like background checks and age restrictions for accessing firearms so controversial?  It shouldn't be easier to buy a gun than a beer.[/quote]
