Perhaps looking at the time between mass shootings would be more interesting than simply looking at mass shootings per year.

You'd have to control for this since school-based shootings are highly temporally correlated. But then maybe there's crossover too. Like everything, estimating these things with more complex models is hard to do right, and findings are usually overstated.
