What you say is probably true, but it raises the question: why always guns? Surely there are other ways to cause death and terror. I wonder if it's because it fits into a narrative? An isolated incident is more easily dismissed or forgotten. Getting back to the main topic, climate change has become a narrative, too, not just an isolated phenomena. Hurricanes, even if mostly random, become part of a larger story. I just finished reading 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and it got me thinking a lot about narratives. Maybe people naturally have a strong desire to be part of a narrative. Perhaps the hero, perhaps a minor character in a big drama; or, if necessary, the villian.
