Shootings make for good headlines. A violent distraction that blends in well with the violence of popular culture.
But if one looks at the number of people killed by automobile crashes, cancer, heart disease......gun violence is quite negligible.
There IS gun violence in this country, but I think you should really take some time, and deeply explore who it is that is being killed. While shootings at schools and churches make good fodder for the weak minded, a cold look will show that drugs and gangs are deeply intertwined with gun violence. Yes, people die by the bullet in the USA. But WHO? Is it all school children and immigrants in civic centers? The answer is no. Do your bloody homework.
If you are a drug dealer/user/gang-banger in the United States, then yes, you should expect hot lead. Remove those jerks from the statistics, and things become far more gray my friend.
