I Wonder How Many Future School Mass Shooters Got Guns For Christmas

Welcome to America 2021.

If you don't have a gun, people twice as smart as you won't listen to your idiotic views. The heart of the problem.

1. I'd imagine guns for Christmas happened way before 2021.

My cousin got a BB gun in 1979. He was 11. I thought what a dumb gift. Lol. My father would never get us a gun. His brother? Dumb!

2. Oh, yea.........

Looking for more parents inspired by the "Parents of the Year" in the Michigan school shooting.....

3. Likely not many.

School mass shootings are relatively rare (although even one is way too many) and then the number of mass shooters who received their guns as Christmas gifts would be a very small subset of an already small number.

You can further reduce those numbers by the whatever the impact was of the very recent, very public arrest of the parents of Ethan Crumbley.

Hopefully we will see more parents of mass shooters prosecuted if it can be proven they bear some responsibility.

4. Let's try crunching some very speculative numbers.

Roughly 15,000,000 firearms will be sold this year. Of those, how many are Christmas gifts for children? 1%? Frankly, I’d be surprised if it were even that high, but let’s go with that. Now we’re down to 150,000 guns.

How many school children become school mass shooters? One in a million? If so, the answer to your question rounds off to “zero”.
