School shootings should certainly be a concern when it comes to overall school safety but when you consider there are over 100,000 schools in the country there is a higher chance that a kid will be hit by a car on the way to school then a shooter getting in and killing kids.
There is a higher probability that a teacher will be having sex with a student then a shooter getting in.
How about kids being bullied or kids that are pushed along through the system and graduate practically illiterate. We have kids that know nothing about history but everything about their favorite celebrity.
Our schools have lots of issues and mass shootings are a huge problem but actually there are many other issues that do not get the medias attention.
For the record I think that a person should be 21 to buy a semi automatic rifle.
Then the age to enter the military needs to match.

You think Betsy will work on all those issues you raised above?
I can see not investigating it as part of a given study, but acting like it doesn't exist is illogical.
Then again, when is she ever logical? Congress delivered a heavy ass whupping when it came time for her items on the budget, so I don't think she has any real power. I'm surprised that Trump kept a loser like her on his team.
He doesn't like losers. I figure her family has something on him or he finds their billions useful or he'd have fired her already.

This is a slippery slope and really one of those pick and choose your battles type of thing. If one changes, it will have after effects. When details come out about these school shootings is a huge majority (not all-Parkland for example) of them are kids getting a hold of these firearms that the parents have purchased.
Graham Allen did an interview on Fox news a couple of months back and this was one of the topics they covered. Graham Allen: Our rights and freedoms are not up for debate | On Air Videos | Fox News
In the end, this is suppose to be talked about within the presidents cabinet including the school safety commission. Both the topic of firearms and safety do go hand in hand. DeVos is an idiot because she can't link the two together.
Forgive me, but I assume a "school safety committee" was created due to all the recent school shootings over the last few years....yet the committee will not consider or address school shootings
Next up: A commission on traffic safety that won't include the role of automobiles.
Nancy DeVos tried to convince the FAAs safety commission not to talk about airplanes.
