Police lives are put at risk by a country awash in guns

I didn't represent anything. I pointed out that the RAND study was just a survey of other studies, for which we don't know the research methods. Basically garbage in, garbage out and that the RAND study said that they other studies tended to point in a direction but more research was needed.

As for what the GOP did, I never said anything about that. Rather, I correctly pointed out that the federal research blocked was by the CDC who wants to research Gun violence as a disease and that there conclusions have already been determined so now they are looking for favorable data to back it up.

I will say again who is misrepresenting facts on school shootings, Every Town for School Safety, that is who.

Here are more "school shootings" on their list:

On February 5, 2018, a third-grader at Harmony Learning Center in Maplewood, Minnesota pressed the trigger on a school liaison officer's gun firing a shot into the ground. Despite it being an accident by a police officer with no injuries, that was counted as a school shooting.

On January 10, 2018 at San Bernadino, California, a gunshot from off campus one of the school buildings and nobody was hurt. Seems that unrelated events off campus are also being counted as school shootings if a school is hit.

On Feb. 5, 2018 at Oxon Hill High School in Hill, Maryland a student was robbed after school in the parking lot. During the robbery the student got shot but because it was in the school parking lot that was counted as a school shooting. While certainly something I'd like to have prevented, I certainly wouldn't have counted a robbery not during school hours as a school shooting.

So tell me again how I'm misrepresenting things.
