Exactly. Some of the terrorist attacks do go unreported, but coverage of gun violence in the US is practically non-existent outside of the immediate location. You won't hear them mention that, because they're more interested in peddling the anti-Muslim fear rather than touching gun control in the slightest.

Just today alone, 27 people were shot dead in the US (there's still an hour and a bit left in the day, so that could rise) - http://www.gunviolencearchive.org/re...-of-gun-deaths
