    All I saw was a short 20 second blurb on channel 8 as I was headed out the door.

    I call it the "d..k pass" motive. They don't care about the championship, they just see opportunity. Same thing with political protests, etc.

    That's a smart idea.

    Also, I can think of lots and lots of people who are trying to "ban guns."

    True, but we have a really good idea to keep everybody safe; make it easy for almost anyone to have multiple and high-powered firearms, and increasingly allow them to carry them in public with no training.

    It seems to be working very well so far, yes?

    It’s been mentioned. It only makes the news if certain criteria are met. It has nothing to do about life and killing. Everything to do with agendas.
    Ar 15 or “ assault STYLE weapon!
    Race?
    Age?
    If the story has at least two of the three it will probably make the news. Out wise.. no story.

    Where have you seen that reported? Everything I've read indicates the police don't have a motive for the shootings and that the suspect has refused to talk to them.

    Your point seems to make sense. But then, on the other hand, there are so many of these shootings so I guess media has to pick and choose?

    Maybe they also report less if it's criminals shooting criminals?
