It is important to measure any response to a tragic event against the metric of “would this remediation, if it had been in place before the event, prevented it or improved the outcome?”
Most responses to gun violence in the US fail this test.

But not only is mass shooting porn good for rating, and nudging the next mass shooter into position but it serves The State as well. It's not a good when the self-proclaimed free press misses softball questions that would challenge the narrative of The State. But it's hard to point at something that isn't there even when that void is the exact problem you wish to highlight.
