@ND3JR Sorry about that. I missed the LA times link on my first read through... I wish there was a way to influence mainstream media coverage so that it wouldn't cover certain issues like it covers political scandals. We don't really need to give so much airtime to the pundits, lobbyists, and the surrogates after each tragedy.

@ND3JR Thanks for that. I try to stay informed, but given the information free he-said-she-said approach to journalism, I often forget people have tried to research the effects of gun ownership/access. But even researching the topic in the US is considered controversial: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/10/04/gun-violence-research-has-been-shut-down-for-20-years/
