The difficulty for the pro gun side is the advent of social media is going to ramp up the frequency and horror of these events, there is an element of one upmanship and self promotion now, in the same way back in the 90's kids would compete to get into the most spectacular stolen car chases on a Friday afternoon in LA, they knew the news choppers were up and would follow them, now we have instagram doing the same job
