The list maker missed one:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethel_Regional_High_School_shooting Understandable with sooooo many to count.
Could be easily corrected by Congress, except the dems have a majority and it is not easy. Could be easily remedied by the Supreme Court except it is not clear that that is easy. Has not been so far. Other than that it is all easy. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
I was referring, although I did not specify, that I’m fine with children using guns under a responsible adult’s supervision, such as a parent. Proper training in the use of a lethal weapon can help a child become more responsible than leaving them to their own devices. Eventually, I’ll do a deep dive on this subject, using my own family history as an example. In all honesty, however, I don’t see myself as being eligible to use a gun as a child, although I did shoot guns unsupervised as a young teen with a friend, because of my unstable family situation and lack of training or even now because of my lack of proficiency. I have never owned a gun, by the way. I believe gun ownership requires responsibility, proficiency, and understanding of legal peril if someone gets shot, justified or not, just like what law enforcement officers go through after they shoot someone. Remember, most non-criminal gun owners are, or were involved in law enforcement, military, hunting, and sport, such as skeet shooting and sanctioned target related competitions. There is certainly a strong cultural aspect to gun ownership in the United States that many outside that group don’t understand. Gun ownership in the United States is a right that must be protected even when tragedy strikes, just like our driving privilege even though some drivers deliberately drive into crowds of people, drive recklessly, or use the vehicle in the commission of a crime. Bottom line, never, ever, sign off on your rights, or someone else’s rights. After all, you never know when you might need that right. For example, a woman who is being stalked by a dangerous ex-lover.
If three or four politicians were shot a year, the 2nd would be toast. Even if was Democrats getting knocked off the Republicans would fear their turn. Its not even that they are hard to bag and once it starts, copycats will take over. In just weeks gun reform of a severity nobody dreamed of enacted. Teens just need to be encouraged to have a bit more ambition? I wonder about the legality of a campaign reading "Thinking of shooting up a school? Consider a politician instead!"
Was thinking the same. Read that tRump (in one of the many tell-all books by former WH staff) started taking Covid seriously when he heard about an old NY real estate buddy getting it. Found a related article https://abc7ny.com/coronavirus-nyc-new-york-city-elmhurst-hospital-queens/6061403/ That's unfortunately what will light a fire under their asses. One or more getting popped.

Michael Wyke/AP Political pranksters trolled NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre at the NRA Convention. 'The Good Liars' sarcastically thanked LaPierre for his "thoughts and prayers" following mass shootings. LaPierre was re-elected by the NRA Board as executive vice president on Monday in a 54-1 vote. National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre appeared to be unknowingly trolled by political pranksters at the NRA Convention in Houston on Saturday. Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler, known on social media as The Good Liars, often sarcastically interview conservatives on camera. On Saturday, Selvig managed to get into the NRA's annual convention and snag a spot at the microphone. "I am sick and tired of the left-wing media and frankly, people in this room today, spreading misinformation about Wayne LaPierre," Selvig said. "Whenever there's a mass shooting, they all say that Wayne LaPierre isn't doing enough to stop these mass shootings and even implying that Wayne LaPierre has played a part in making it easier for these shooters to get guns, to get weapons."...... https://www.businessinsider.com/pra...-lapierre-for-his-thoughts-and-prayers-2022-5
