    Sure, I was talking about homicide, suicide is typically treated as a different problem. Most gun homicides are gang related. The media reports on gang violence but they don’t fixate on it and demand solutions. There is clearly a demonstrable difference which is the point.

    You’re making a lot of assumptions about me. I’m merely pointing out that school shootings are very rare events and that the media does a lot to promote them.

      Speaking of gang violence, don’t you think it is exacerbated by having guns readily available?

        No. Gangs kills each other however they can, having firearms makes no difference. They might resort to things like explosive which are more damaging.
