Sure. But school shootings are also common in the US. A student who has brought a gun to a school is very likely not harmless. So false negatives aren’t free either.

What's the proportion of gun-carrying to shooting in schools?
Well guns aren’t allowed in schools at all. It’s a felony. So if your point is that the ratio is low, that’s only because the denominator is way too big.
No point, a question.
I'd suspect kids would take guns to 'be cool', show friends, make threats without intention to actually use them. Also, intention to harm that wasn't followed through; intention to defend themselves if threatened; other reasons?
Probably no sound stats, but I'm curious about it, so asked.
