That's probably true but not really an answer to the question. Most shot kids are victims of gang violence.
What do you think was meant by "or something?" The question was answered. Meme shows school kids shot up. Gangs or whatever shoots them up. Yes it happened today. Happens everyday.
Okay but it's disingenuous. You can disagree. It's a massive disparity between school deaths and gang violent deaths so I feel it warrants a little more clarity of communication.
Is it a massive disparity or is it a simple common demoninator of guns are far too easy to obtain in the US? There is an incredibly strong correlation between stringent gun control and less school and gang shootings of children in many other nations.
