Gun violence is gun violence.
To ignore suicides - which are the majority - in order to sensationalize the rest is not going to help anyone. And look where we are?
Yet this is what the media does. And the unaware masses follow along championing a false narrative. We need transparency in order to have the necessary discussions.
- afiori 4y agoFrom this comment I do not understand whether you think suicides should be counted as a different category.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoWhatever we do what we're doing now lacks transparency and is unacceptable. I have no issue with people being concerned about mass shootings. But when those are a fraction and the majority is ignored - because the media loves to sensationalize (read: profit from) from mass shootings - that is a problem. We can't have adult discussions when less than 50% of the data on gun related deaths is on the table.
