I believe the opposite actually. I think the only reason nothing has happened is because we have sufficiently commoditized school shootings into a media package that is uniform and neutered. If (ugh, when) the next school shooting happens, the pictures of 8 year olds’ half blown away faces would turn the collective public guts inside out. Americans are _very_ good at burying their heads in the sand. It’s only when you force them, Clockwork Orange style, to confront what they’ve made, they actually start to change their opinions.
