Neither throwing more guns at nor taking away guns is ever going to stop the crazies from doing what they do. But if youve ever really watched your local news you'd realize that the reason this makes news is because news outlets thrive off ratings. Whatever is most likely going to get people to watch is what they air. They milk a story for all its worth and move on to the next as if the former never happened. All the "concern" and "debate" is actually little more than the media trying to turn profit like any other business. As long as a story still has value it is aired. The real reason the media thrives off of shootings is because they can fill in airtime with talking heads discussing the same exact circular arguments about gun control, thereby not only raking in views and profit but saving other useless news for later.
