That being said,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States , numbers indicate deaths and casualties, respectively (SCHOOL SHOOTINGS!):
February 12, 2016
Glendale, Arizona 2/0 Two 15-year-old girls died in an apparent
Murder-Suicide at
Independence High School.
October 9, 2015
Flagstaff, Arizona 1/3 One student died and three others were wounded in a shooting at
Northern Arizona University. It is unclear what sparked the shooting, which took place near Mountain View Hall, a dormitory that houses most of the campus' students involved in Greek organizations. An 18-year-old student was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault.
January 31, 2013
Phoenix, Arizona 0/0 An argument between two rival gangs escalated to what police described as a "gun battle" at
Cesar Chavez High School. Approximately fifteen shots were fired in the vicinity of people waiting to get into a scheduled boys' basketball game. No one was injured.
October 28, 2002
Tucson, Arizona 4/0 Failing nursing college student and
Gulf War veteran, 40-year-old Robert Stewart Flores Jr., killed three assistant professors of nursing at the
University of Arizona, 50-year-old Robin Rogers, 44-year-old Cheryl McGaffic, and 45-year-old Barbara Monroe, before turning the gun on himself.
Before 2002, there isn't any (just skimming so I might have made a mistake). None were non target mass shootings which one would assume would be the obvious with such lax gun laws in this State. The Flagstaff incident happened on the street and the suspect has claimed self defense, re-trial/conviction TBD.
So.........with Arizona basically being the easiest gun access State, why are we not seeing lots of school shootings, seeing the arguments on what gun laws are contributing factors in other States?
Don't get me wrong:
I'm a Native Arizonan.
I own guns. (and have a gun safe)
I carry. (S & W .367 mag revolver)
I support the 2nd amendment.
I do NOT support, nor am I a member of the NRA.
I DO believe the age of purchasing a weapon should be 21.
I DON'T believe mags should hold more than 6 bullets.
I can't justify ownership of semi automatics in the private sector, I don't think they're any better or efficient for hunting, or for personal/home protection. (and many people who own them don't have the knowledge or experience to use them for such)
