Sad situation, unfortunately there is only so much CA can do on guns due to the Federal Constitution and SCOTUS.

Yeah, I read about the UPS situation. But this is odd. Local news here is also talking about a freeway shooting which has caused highway 101 to close off during commute. I'm not sure why, but this one has also hit CNN.

The media will want to do a wave of reporting to highlight shootings again to drive a narrative towards something they are comfortable with, gun control. It'll help them refocus the political shooting.

I doubt it. The report I linked isn't even on the front page. Not likely to distract much from the political shooting. Right now, the only thing providing a possible distraction is the London fire.

Look at the snapshot of coverage by CNN:

They are not only highlighting the political shooting, but the fact that he was a Trump hater.

We'll see how the next week unfolds for news coverage. Plenty of shootings in this country, most just aren't focused on.

Yeah someone at work said "two shootings in the U.S. Today". My reply was "two you heard of. Hundreds you haven't".

This isn't the time to talk about fire safety.
