    So what? Still proves that your comparison to tornado drills is, well, utterly ridiculous and without merit…

      Not ridiculous, the odds of either event injuring or killing any particular individual are vanishingly small. A person who worries about school shootings should be positively terrified of climbing ladders or crossing a busy road.

      People are really bad at contextualizing risk. Just look at the “stranger danger” scare.

        You’ve moved the goalpost from “odds of happening” to “odds of injury or death”.

        I’m sure you’ll move it to “physical injury” when it’s pointed out that a single school shooting has major and long lasting effects on children’s mental health, even if they themselves never even see the shooter.
