      HOW the media covers these things (including the murderer) is one question, but it is never be the case that a mass murder in which 17 people are killed at a high school is not a major news story

          something can be a major news story and intensive cable news coverage of that story can cause more killings. both can be, and it very much looks like they are, true.

          "can cause" or "can be a contributing factor along with many others," perhaps? One of the stories you sent also says:pic.twitter.com/GDe7Yk4ECk

          I'm sorry, when did I say gun violence had one solution? I'm not the one saying an assault rifle ban would stop mass shootings.

          But I am curious what is achieved by the NRA using such a caustic, confrontational tone in attacking the media when there's a national debate going on on how to seriously address this issue

          I don't speak for the NRA but I do believe the media should look in the mirror, look at the revenues they get from wall to wall mass shooting coverage, and then look at the data on the actual threat mass shootings presenthttp://www.businessinsider.com/mass-shooting-gun-statistics-2018-2 …
