If you could wave a magic wand and entirely eliminate all school shootings, or all inter-personal gun homicide (think chicago), but not both, the majority of people would undoubtedly choose school shootings, even though the latter category represents exponentially more deaths per year.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but I always think about it when a school shooting is all over the headlines. And that's not to minimize school shootings at all.
