Every death is a tragedy. Many are avoidable. If we want to actually reduce tragedy and suffering, your time and energy is best spent on big problems.

A school age child is nearly 200x more likely to die by suicide than from a school shooting. That's a tragedy. And that's _avoidable_. Which do you hear about more?

The attention and resources of society are limited. We would be better off allocating resources to bigger problems, but we don't. That's a tragedy.

Um, why not both.

The rest of the world doesn't have the school shooter problem.

It's fixable, and the fix is bleedingly obvious. There's no excuse.
