Okay, we may have more attacks than you have shootings in schools. But 30 terrorist attacks all in all in over a dozen countries compared to 15 school shootings in just one is still a sad statistic for the US.

Also, did deeper into the GTD list. The bulk of the increase is not coming from jihadists or other immigrants, but actually from far right movements which have multiplied in the last years. The immigrants are perfect fodder for them 

I said, that you shouldn't compare it and proved that your claim was wrong. You now act as if only islamic terrorism is true terrorism. It's too much work to separate the islamic terrorism from the non islamic terrorism in the GTD, so I will use another source:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_terrorism_in_Europe_(2014%E2%80%93present)#2016

It list 17 islamic terrorist attacks for 2016. (+4 terror plots, which could be prevented)

So even singling it out to islamic terrorism your claim "... the whole continent has less terrorist attacks than the US has school shootings ..." ist still false. Because 17 is still bigger than 15 school shootings.
