School shootings happen, and much more in the US than other countries.
Zvi addressed this in the OP:
… there is one live shooting incident in a given school every 6,000 years, with an average of less than one death out of an average school size of slightly more than 500 students.
In other words: no, school shootings pretty much don’t happen, for all practical purposes.
And both are much worse than actually addressing the underlying problem.
If C > A and C > B, that is, actually, irrelevant to the question of whether A > B.
Or, rather, much like winning the lottery, it does happen, but it doesn’t happen to you.
