Because we’re not having that many…once again it’s a click bait title using the gunsrcool database which has been found to be horribly inaccurate…but anti-gun people love to use it as facts.
The remaining 59 could not be confirmed or disconfirmed by NPR.
Let me get this straight NPR hired out another group to call the schools and ask them if they had shootings and then if the person answering that day said no or couldn’t confirm or deny it, they just said okay thanks and then counted it as not a shooting?
Lol wut
Good thing school faculty never lies about negative things, I guess!
Lol so your rebuttal to the article is because someone else called these schools? And that faculty lie? Did you even read the article? The way the gov. Got these metrics is literally how you just used to refute the point… it’s actually worse because the gov. Didn’t even call and get a person, they just had a form…lol
You and the others who don’t like the data from a left leaning source…wow…
My rebuttal is that it’s simply unreliable to ask random faculty members to tell you the truth about things that make their school look bad.
That’s not unreasonable, even for yes, this huge liberal hippie.
“We called each school multiple times for 3 months” tells me absolutely nothing. It could have been two calls, it could have been two thousand, but they are extremely short on details for some reason.
And since they outsourced it to a third party it adds another layer of obfuscation that makes it difficult to answer anything.
And finally, the way they settled on not being able to confirm or deny most of the shootings, but still phrased it as if kids shooting each other at school wasn’t a big deal. Like, seriously?
I’m very disappointed in the author of this NPR article, which usually does their due diligence on these issues.

Literally NPR even had to do a piece on how bad the stats are pulled.

But again… you’re ok with how the info is gained? Because it supports your view that school shootings happen a few times a day in the US…got it.
