Bet these won’t get a whole lot of national airplay:

Police arrest suspect in South Carolina mall shooting

“…22-year-old Jewayne M. Price, who was one of three people initially detained by law enforcement as a person of interest, remains in police custody …”

 

And this one is brand-new, with little detail. Yet I get the feeling we won’t get bombarded with news stories about this:

2 minors killed, 9 injured in Pittsburgh party shooting at Airbnb

“The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. during a party at a short-term rental property where there were more than 200 people inside – many of them underage… Police said as many as 50 rounds were fired inside and several more were fired outside. Shell casings from rifles and pistols were found at the scene, Pittsburgh police commander John Fisher told WTAE-TV. Police are processing evidence at as many as eight separate crime scenes spanning a few blocks around the shooting scene, police said.”

I’ll bet a nickel that neither one of these stories will end up involving 3D printed guns, or”ghost guns” manufactured from kits, or even legally owned firearms wielded by CCW license holders. Neither story will end up being perpetrated by Trump voters or NRA members. Neither story will end up being useful for The Narrative, and thus neither story will end up being much more than a momentary local news story. One or both stories will likely end up being less of a “gun err bad” story and more of a “criminals should be removed from the streets” story, and we can’t have that.
