Wow, thanks, I feel so reassured now that I know that one of the most common, terrifying, and harmful acts of nature recorded in human history only causes slightly more damage than school shootings, without accounting for the age demographic of the victims of either.
Lightning striking people is not one of the “most common” acts of nature. It is a freak event and that is the point of comparing the statistics. To try to get people like you to accept that you’re obsessing over a vanishingly small issue by letting the media convince you it is a regular occurrence impacting everyone. Again there are 330 million people in the US and less than a couple dozen die per year in school shootings. The media could sensationalize pool drownings, people choking on pens, or any other number of things but they choose to promote school shootings in order to promote gun control.
How many people choke to death on pens every year? “On average, 100 to 4000 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year”
You’re letting the media trick you and there is a reason powerful interests like the corporate media want you focused on getting rid of people’s right to bear arms.
I’ve seen lightning strikes twice this week and most of the time I’m not even looking. If I lived in a higher elevation I’d probably see more strikes than school shootings in the USA.
