I'm not aware of a widespread belief that school shootings are more common now than they were in the 90s. That said, just because the rate isn't increasing, is that a compelling argument for not addressing school shootings? If your house burned down once this year, but it burned down 3 times in 1998, I think you're still having too many house fires. How is that an argument that there's no need to buy a smoke alarm, and maybe re-examine your lifestyle to understand why you're experiencing such an unusually high number of fires?
