  • Turn my now illegal Beretta 92F into the police, and hope they do not arrest me;
  • Keep my Beretta 92F and remain a criminal; or
  • Move to Alaska were my rights are protected against government violation.
Needless to say, I chose the latter. That was 23 years ago this coming May. It was the best move I ever made.
I was born and raised in No. Cal. It was a great place to grow up. I would not live in Cal now.

Meh. What good does a ban do when there are already enough guns and ammunition around now to kill every kid in America 2 or 3 times, just to make sure they're dead?
We could damn near kill all our kids to the end of the century before gun shortages would be noticed at all.

You will notice the sharp increase in the number of school shootings since the Democrats implemented "Gun Free School Zones" in 1990. Democrats obviously want children to die.
I have no quarrel with the source you posted. It isn't that the CNN list is wrong. It includes only K-12 incidents and only those that were not gang related or personal conflicts. The wiki list is a good one, mostly because it includes incidents earlier than 1960. I did not try to count the incidents - but I think the wiki list shows the 1990s as the deadliest decade. The 2000s less so (k-12 only).

The CNN list is not only wrong, they deliberately cover up numerous school shootings in an vain attempt to conceal the fact that the school shootings since 1990 have been entirely the fault of Democrats. In other words, CNN is deliberately biased in favor of the Democrats and more than willing to provide cover for their crimes. Just like they have been doing for Obama these past 5 years and for Clinton before that.

The only reason why Democrats want schools to be "gun free zones" is because they want children to die. Democrats are pathetic pieces of human filth with no redeeming value, and this proves it.

Are you saying there is something intrinsic in the American psyche that pushes people to go postal once a place becomes a gun free zone? Because there are many schools in other parts of the world that are gun free zones without any uptick of gun violence.

Well.
Maybe, maybe not.
But if someone wanted to do the most damage with the least resistance, why not go where they know there is less resistance?
