In May 2002 , the Secret Service published a report that examined 37 U.S. school shootings . They had the following findings : Californian punk rock group The Offspring has created two songs about school shootings in the United States . In " Come Out and Play " ( 1994 ) , the focus is on clashing school gangs , lamenting that " kids are getting weapons with the greatest of ease " , " It goes down the same as a thousand before / No one 's getting smarter / No one 's learning the score / A never ending spree of death and violence and hate " . In the 2008 song " Hammerhead " , a campus gunman thinks he is a soldier in a warzone . One of the more provocative songs to come out of the Parkland , Fla. high school shooting was “ thoughts & prayers ” from politically charged alternative artist/rapper '' ' grandson ' '' ( born Jordan Benjamin ) . “ No thoughts and no prayers can bring back what ’s no longer there / The silent are damned/the body count is on your hands ” ; the song is a critique of politicians sending out their “ thoughts and prayers ” to the victims of the Feb. 14 attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school and other mass shootings , accompanied by what he perceives as a consistent resistance to gun control laws
