These are mostly shootings that happened in the vicinity of a school. Natives attacking a schoolhouse while settlers are essentially at war with them. Targeted attacks on individuals who work at the school. The actual intent of using a school and everyone in it as random targets to be slaughtered in some act of pointless revenge or whatever doesn’t happen until much later.
So shootings in the vicinity of schools is definitely not new, but shootings as a deliberate act of terror or screwed up revenge is definitely something that has taken off since the 1980’s.

The UK dates back to the 1700s and has a knife problem but we don't talk about that or ban knives
-
Ironically their knife control is tighter than some state's gun control.
But you already know why they don't ban knife.
-
If I'm not mistaken they don't exactly take kindly to even letter openers. So you'd be incorrect.
-
To be fair, if you banned knives, how would you be able to perform one of those famous british stabbings. As a tourist, visiting London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds or even Glasgow just wouldn't be the same.
-
Maybe because comparing knives to guns, which is exactly what you are doing, is fucking stupid. Guns literally have the capacity to murder hundreds of people within minuets.
You are riddled with logical fallacies. Perhaps you should get that looked at.

as the 2nd amendment
The constitution was made to be amended to adapt with the times. Time to amend the 2nd amendment and require a valid reason such as hunting for having a firearm.
Valid reason 1. In order to increase the cost of wide spread authoritarian action against the people of the Unites States.
