Agenda, Not Accuracy

It’s time to play “What does Everytown pretend is a school shooting?” again.

Back in February, I fact-checked Everytown for Gun “Safety”‘s list of school shootings. 29% of their “school shootings” did not meet even their own definition.* Some weren’t shootings.

Have they improved any?

NO.

Having limited time to look up cases (Everytown conveniently — for them — does not provide supporting links for their claims, so it takes research to find the reports), I only checked the latest ten on the list. And I provide links so you can verify my findings.

Half — 50% — of Everytown’s “school shootings” are NOT school shootings even by their expansive definition.

Three — 30% do meet their definition, but happened after hours, involving people not associated with the school; that is deliberately misleading

Two cases — 20% are dubious. One was a guy shot as he fled towards the school; the killer certainly tried to get him before he jumped the fence. The other appears to be another of those not-during-school-hours, no-school-people-involved shootings, but since they apparently got the date wrong, maybe that isn’t what they’re listing; I found no shooting on the date they gave.

Everytown’s “school shooting” list has not improved. It has gotten far worse, far less accurate.

But lies are close enough for a victim-disarming agenda.
