But this should probably move to the politics forum.
My heart goes out to the Delaware students: that is scary to hear. Glad they stopped him.

They caught him before anything happened. This honestly could be any school in this country.
I mean, Tech had one of the worst mass shootings in history. People still apply there.
Is Florida State not on your list because Ted Bundy killed sorority girls 50 years ago?
One dude who was caught before a crime committed is not an indication of a school with crummy safety.
I totally agree with your premise, but feel compelled to point out that Florida State had a mass shooting with several deaths just within the last year or so. Unfortunately, this sort of thing has become so commonplace it barely registers these days unless it's in our own backyard.
It's certainly worth asking questions about campus safety plans at admitted students days, but frankly, anything can happen anywhere at this point. This is a much bigger problem that just the university level.

Import the third world and reap the consequences.
Let everyone have high-capacity magazine automatic weapons and reap the consequences. America has no shortage of native-born shooters, the largest contingent of which are white men.
The vast majority of shooters are black men. When you look at the statistics for only very large events, there are more white men, but inline with population statistics. As a proportion of population, Hispanics are under represented and Asians are over represented. This all changes are you tweak what constitutes a “mass” shooting though.
