T EYou miss the point of Man Bites Dog. This is a story that any news organization would run with. They simply don't happen very often.
Much more common is a husband blowing away his wife or girlfriend at the end of a heated battle, or the reverse. That is the most common lethal use of guns in America. THOSE stories are not reported, except on a local basis, because they are too common and boring.
Further, lethal gun use in poorer communities rarely gets headline treatment, and never national coverage, unless it is spectacular. It is too mundane, boring.
Violent crime fell in America during the 1990s. It had nothing to do with the guns, it was a booming economy. Booming economy=less poverty= less crime.
Guns are a dead issue. There will never be any meaningful gun control in America.
