Automatic weapons are banned, and children don't recieve free healthcare. Guest, it wasn't an opinion, it was a statement. @blackbanana Antifa assault people for having a different opinion, I simply have my own.
A shooting is a form of assault, that was my initial statement. I gave sources for what i was talking about. It's not my fault you can't understand the underlying statement.
You just said 'assault', and the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is physical assault, with fists. There's a difference between assault and aggravated assault, which is one with a weapon. You could have just simply said "American schoolchildren also shoot people." Also, it's laughable that you would cite CNN.
Is it? When it states almost exactly the same thing as BBC? Don't you know that when finding facts you're supposed to find several different sources, which is exactly what I did.

According to this definition a shooting fits in. Of course a shooting fits in several categories and isn't necessarily proclaimed as an assault.
