Jonathan Kay: More guns aren’t the answer. For Canadians, America’s gun cult looks like a collective suicide pact

Braveheart, media coverage of mass killing happens in countries other than the US but no-one else has the number of mass killings the US has. Media coverage is not the cause.

I agree with Braveheart on this, although media may not be the underlying cause it sure isn't helping by inadvertently "sensationalizing" the mass shooting events. Hour after hour, day after day of ****ing media coverage, give some lunatic the stage they want and there you have it. The only thing I would edit in Braveheart's last post is insert "WANT" for "NEED". Big difference to me.
