Because yes, in 2017 almost 40,000 people died in shooting incidents in the U.S. That is an insanely high number and a modern day tragedy in a nation that should be doing so much better. But although the risk of getting caught in the crossfire of a shooting is real, saying that it is “likely” is definitely an exaggeration. Speaking to Bored Panda, V later clarified this. “It’s been a mixed response. Most folks were upset about the “likely” tweet,” she told us. “In hindsight, saying “likely” was an exaggeration.”

Brasil had 43000 and they have a law, the "statute of disarmament" that discourages the sale of weapons to the general population. Weapons used in homicides are usually, when found, smuggled or stolen from the security forces themselves.

BS. I'm a teacher, too, and one of the statistics we were told is that you're more likely to get struck by lightning on school grounds than be shot.
Of course, all of this would also be totally unnecessary if everyone was able to freely carry. No one would bother trying to shoot up a school if they knew at least 1/2 of the people there could and would shoot back.
And have you seen most teachers? Yeah, they're going to go hand to hand with a shooter and take them out. Sure. Just another example of GRRRRLLL power trying to be realistic.
