Is there increased shootings or increased reporting by media?

There are more and more shooting occuring all over the country. Do you think it is because media is reporting it more or is there really an increase of violence shootings?

Shooting within the family units and community shootings, both are bad and sick.

Do you know anyone who has even gotten killed from any of these kinds of shootings?

    You have got to be kidding. Do you really think that the media cover anything of real importance? No, however, they love to cover shootings, because it is a chance for all the anti-gun fanatics to take a "shot," [pun intended], at changing the constitution and better yet the bill of rights.

    Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Saying a gun is responsible for killing a person, is like saying a pen or keyboard are responsible for misspelled words.

    The shootings have increased, because our society has been "falling down" if you don't understand the "allusion" to the term...watch the movie with Michael Douglas. Sometimes, people flip out, and the innocent bystander is usually in the line of fire.

    I don't personally know anyone who has been killed by a business or school shooting, but I do understand what drives people over the edge to try to take the law into their own hands. It usually ends badly.

    The people that deserve to be on the receiving end of a bullet usually aren't.

    Have a swell day.

    Source(s): the dude below is confusing shootings with other mass suicides and cults. He is also confusing Oklahoma City, with a shooting, it was no shooting it was a stupid attempt at gov't payback for burning the Waco Complex in Texas. Columbine was a shooting but not by any asian.
