Selective ignoance is a gun grabber hallmark.

Each of the five terrorists comrade obama illegally let out of G-bay have killed, and will kill, many more Americans that all of the schools shooting put together.
obama loves dead Americans, he goes out of his way to promote the cause, then gives his little "Feel Good" speeches.
The man-child is evil...

You assume it is just about the tool when one wants to talk about gun violence and our gun culture, it isn't, it is about our society problems and the reasoning why people resort to the use of guns in our schools.

School attacks in China (2010–12)


Quote:
A series of uncoordinated mass stabbings, hammer attacks, and cleaver attacks in the People's Republic of China began in March 2010. The spate of attacks left at least 25 dead and some 115 injured. As most cases had no known motive, analysts have blamed mental health problems caused by rapid social change for the rise in these kinds of mass murder and murder-suicide incidents.[1] Such attacks are extremely rare in the United States such as the 2013 stabbing at the Lone Star College in Texas in 2013, and other nations have had unexplained serial killings.

As the Chenpeng school attack was followed by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in the United States hours later[2][3] comparisons were drawn between the two. The difference in gun control laws between the two countries was used to explain the disparity in casualties of the school attacks by journalists and politicians, including U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler,[4][5] and an article in the Associated Press noted that despite the different outcomes, an underlying commonality between the attacks was the increased frequency of school attacks because, "attackers often seek out the vulnerable, hoping to amplify their outrage before they themselves often commit suicide.

On March 23, 2010, Zheng Minsheng 41, murdered eight children with a knife in an elementary school in Nanping,Fujian province.

Just a few hours after the execution of Zheng Minsheng in neighboring Fujian Province, in Leizhou, Guangdong another knife-wielding man named Chen Kangbing, 33 at Hongfu Primary School wounded 16 students and a teacher.

Chen Kangbing had been a teacher at a different primary school in Leizhou, but was on sick leave due to mental illness.

He was sentenced to death by a court in Zhanjiang in June.

On April 29 in Taixing, Jiangsu, unemployed 47-year-old Xu Yuyuan went to Zhongxin Kindergarten and stabbed 28 students and two teachers after stabbing the security guard, most of the Taixing students were 4 years old. The attack was the second in China in just two days.

On April 30, Wang Yonglai used a hammer to cause head injury to preschool children in Weifang, Shandong, then used gasoline to commit suicide by self-immolation.
WHOLE lot more at link.

BUT, generally, it is the fault of the TOOL! Those dang GUNS just jump into someones hand and FORCE them to do terrible things!
The time honored "everything but the gun" argument.

Do you really believe whatever you read on the interwebz?
US school shootings: Map shows 74 incidents on campuses since 2012 Sandy Hook massacre - Americas - World - The Independent

Maybe you would like it in map form so you can get a better understanding of how many there has been. Or do you think the documented school shootings are false?

Oh and to answer the question, any time is the right time to talk about this topic because there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook.
"because there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook."

Sorry THAT has been debunked in its own thread.

Everyone knows schools are gun free zones. hmm, now why doesn't the bad guy comply? The bad guy still brings a gun.

Maybe 'you' need better sources?

You, like the rest of the myna bird crowd are something to behold!
