The NRA is spot on. The media gives these butchers their 15 minutes.
NRA TV host Colion Noir produced a new video calling for "common sense media control" that is causing a stir. But many sounding the alarm over it either failed to watch the whole video or failed to get the point.
Noir begins by underscoring the role fame plays in inspiring mass shootings (video below). "Can anyone tell me the last time a mass school shooter left a manifesto, a comment on social media, or a video where they said they were inspired to commit their atrocity because of a firearm?" he asks. "Name one. I'm sure you can't, and neither can I. Because as much as the media love to pivot the conversation after a mass school shooting to gun control, the pen is still mightier than the sword.

There is a video at the link.
I'm all for that. It would be interesting to see that if the major news channels and over-the-air networks got together and decided not to broadcast the name of mass shooters for 3 years and see if it effects anything; or maybe just broadcast it once. Everything should be on the table.
Good post. For once.
