Replace shooting with fire, flood, earthquake, tornado, etc

IMO the objection is dumb regardless, but maybe that will help translate.

Fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes do not happen several times a week in the US, unlike mass shootings.

Are you talking about at schools or generally?

Both happen several times per week, neither happen several times per week at schools.

This source [0] says 81 school shootings in the US as of 12/6/24, so while not quite several times per week on average, it's within the margin of error.

You're being down voted because your source links known disinformation sites (detailed elsewhere in the thread.)
