Is it me? Lately, particularly since the SCOTUS hearing on 2A, it seems like every local shooting incident has become a national news event.

Why is this type of thing always national news? This is a town of 3000 people where someone went out of control. If this were a poisoning in this town would it be national news? Would the victims be any less dead if it were a knifing? Why does violence with firearms somehow elevate this to the national stage?

... I love poetry, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

and even if there wasn't an agenda, media still needs sensationalism to sell themselves, to their editors, to their public.
A random firearm attack is easier to sensationalize than an old lady drowning in her bathtub.
