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.

  • Considering the slices of the socioeconomic ladder mostly involved here, I'd bet that "it won't grow legs if it's on me" dwarfs all other motives for bringing guns to school.
