This year, there were 40 killings overall, which is probably an aberration considering last year there were 8.
Something which affects 8 to 40 out of 300 million people is not a good reason to spend billions on heightened security, regulations, etc. Especially when our previous experience is that none of those things help.
Heck, this school had just substantially upgraded its security. Would you suggest that this single incident is a reason to have metal detectors and security guards and bulletproof doors at every elementary school in the U.S.?
