I am sure it will be in big discussion on tonights news and regarding gun shootings in America and the DU will be all over it.

I wouldn't read too much into this - we are in a fast news cycle with so much going on in last 72 hours and it will be discussed, just like everything else.

Sadly, we live in a time where there is just so much massive shit news....its all so hard to process and to have 100 discussions all at once that seem to give adequate time to any of the topics.

So, it looks like there was just a mass shooting with 12 fatalities, and it's barely noticeable here [View all] Crunchy Frog Nov 2018 OP

I think a lot of it has to do with the timing of it. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2018 #1

Correct. Liberal Jesus Freak Nov 2018 #7

Information is still coming in... Pachamama Nov 2018 #2

There were multiple posts last night at around 11 P.M. PST. However, I agree, I would think there still_one Nov 2018 #3

A mid-term, an AG being fired, and a mass-shooting. LanternWaste Nov 2018 #4

I'd say we are overloaded and numb. That hardly means we don't care. hlthe2b Nov 2018 #8

Well, so far there is zero information MosheFeingold Nov 2018 #9

I saw that there were lots of college students there that night Crunchy Frog Nov 2018 #14

I've been thinking the same thing. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2018 #11

I think that's what the Repugs want. For mass shootings to just be part of the new normal. Crunchy Frog Nov 2018 #15

I think that's the real trend here. Kaleva Nov 2018 #12

Just another day in America Calculating Nov 2018 #13

One thing I've noticed lately, is little discussion among our PRO-GUN (Gun Control & RKBA (Group) hlthe2b Nov 2018 #16

And the Gun Control Reform Activism group is almost dead. Kaleva Nov 2018 #17

I think your point is explained more by the fact that gun control issues are discussed in GD hlthe2b Nov 2018 #18

But the OP is making the arguement that even in GD, mass shootings don't get the attention... Kaleva Nov 2018 #20

Well spotted. I also have wondered where the Gungeon geniuses are, but not enough to go looking. Hekate Nov 2018 #23

I started a thread on it at 6:22 am. There was no info at that time other than the # of fatalities FSogol Nov 2018 #19

Okay, stop everything and look at the bodies. Mueller, who's that? Trump's military stunt? Nah. Hekate Nov 2018 #21

Or maybe you can try proposing solutions. Blue_true Nov 2018 #22
