Those aren't mass spree killings.

Those are total murders that happened to happen at a school.  That's a whole different and much more common thing.  (everywhere.)

 

You aren't fact checking so much as fact twisting/fabricating.


See edit. Table of recent shootings for you. 

 

(because  I can't be bothered to look through a list of 77 school-related shootings to sort out those that fit the narrow criteria)

hint.  If you do look through it.  You'll see it's about 60 total mass shootings in the last 20 years for ALL areas.  Not just schools.

I got that number from the great right wing conspiracy machine known as Mother Jones.

 

Believe me... mother Jones isn't going to understate the number, because they want to ban guns more then pretty much any group who'd bother to figure out about how many mass shootings have happened in the last 30 years.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're saying 'all areas'? And what are you counting as 'mass shootings' here, is that the reason for having such a lower figure? 

 

I just did 'look through it' and  I count 76 school shootings going back to 2000, so 76 in 12 years.
