I keep hearing the emotional kiddies, the retarded media, and the politicians who have the brainpower of kiddies, blathering about banning “weapons of war” as the major “fix” to our legal system which will ultimately prevent school shootings. If we could just eliminate those evil black (is this racist?) rifles, they espouse, we would all be safe once again.
Shepard Smith of Fox News gave his emotional tally of all the 25 “fatal” school shootings “since Columbine” (Not true. It’s actually 25 INCLUDING Columbine, or 24 since…). Words have meanings as I’ve said to other people. Interestingly in all the “news” stories I read, not one “reporter” correctly reported the number. So much for factual journalism.
I did some quick research on the weapons used in these “25 mass school shootings” just to see how many were perpetrated using evil black rifles.
Here’s the list, starting with Columbine and ending with Parkland.
| 1 | 2-tech9 9mm, 2-12gauge |
| 2 | .22 handgun |
| 3 | davis p32 |
| 4 | .25 raven |
| 5 | arminius .22 revolver |

Two involved evil black rifles. Overwhelmingly, PISTOLS were used to commit “mass school shootings”. Many were revolvers which no one seems to consider banning and confiscating. The most popular caliber used in “mass school shootings” is the .22 long rifle cartridge which is about 1″ long and 1/4″ in diameter, pictured here.

The list represents elementary and high school shootings where there was ONE fatality or more.
Not on the list is the Virginia Tech shooting because it was at a university. But to be clear that was the LARGEST shooting at a school with 32 murdered plus the shooter. The shooter used a Glock 19 in 9mm and a Walther P22 once more in .22 long rifle. Both of these are PISTOLS.
I’ll let you ponder the list. What do you conclude? Will banning law abiding citizens from owning evil black rifles “make the children safer“?
In future parts of this series on “Weapons Of War“, I’ll further analyze the FACTS on these “25 mass school shootings”. There are many interesting FACTS. For example most of the weapons used were stolen (along with murder, isn’t theft of a firearm also ALREADY against the law?). Several of the shootings were amongst or committed by adults. Many of the shootings have a domestic dispute or failed relationship basis. There were WARNING SIGNS in many cases. No one seems to want to look at these FACTS as it DOES NOT FIT THE NARRATIVE of BAN THE EVIL BLACK RIFLES.
