James Allan Fox, criminology professor at the Law and Public Policy at Northeastern University, said that while certain new gun laws could reduce gun crimes, they'd likely not prevent future school shootings.
He also wrote an op-ed about how school shootings are rare, and that more kids are killed walking to school.
Since 1996, there have been 16 multiple victim shootings in schools, or incidents involving 4 or more victims and at least 2 deaths by firearms, excluding the assailant.
Of these, 8 are mass shootings, or incidents involving 4 or more deaths, excluding the assailant.
Their research also finds that shooting incidents involving students have been declining since the 1990s.
Two other incidents showed how school shooters got around the other measures by merely shooting kids on a playground, or pulling the fire alarm to force students and faculty to leave the building.
As for mass shootings, in general, they're also rare, with FiveThirtyEight, which is not a conservative outlet, noting that using these tragic shootings as the only gauge on how to craft social policy firearms could lead to disastrous results.
