      The first shooting I remember was the Heath High School shooting in 1997. Things haven’t been ok for a long time

      The fact that when you say “Columbine” we immediately know you’re talking about the shooting at Columbine means that it was noteworthy enough to not be a regular occurrence then. Same with Sandy Hook. Nowadays we don’t even question why anymore, and few people would recognize the Evergreen school shooting that happened a couple weeks ago from the name of the school alone.
