Why is it "Breaking News" all over the media when 2 people are shot in Arizona....

NFLTrends · Feb 12, 2016

Yet when 5 adults, and 1 child are killed in a mass killing... there are no headlines nationally?

Answer: Cause it was done with a knife... no narrative to spread, no Presidential speech about the tragedy.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/04/six-killed-in-chicago-mass-stabbing/

What would have happened if these people were shot? The President already would have been making a speech, people would be chanting, etc, etc...

Huh? Stop citing that garbage Breitbart site. You see breaking news because it was at a school.....not because of the way people died. People are shot constantly in inner cities and you don't see headlines.....move those shootings to a school or workplace....then you get headlines.

The idea is to slowly chip away at their right to bear arms until they have none. That is the end goal.

Yes, there is a narrative. Yes, the media is controlled. Going to the source and coming up with the 'why' leads to some unsavory answers.
I'm afraid most people don't ever get that far.

The good news is there will be no need for movies in the near future. You can just link a feed to satellites and watch Europe blowing itself up daily.

6 people were killed in a MASS MURDER. This wasnt just a single killing...

So, if these people had all been mass murdered by a handgun, it still wouldnt be national news?

David Ray Conley killed 6 children and two adults in his Houston home WITH A GUN, and it made national news

Are you serious? I'm not sure what your complaint is? Do you really wanna compare knife deaths and gun deaths. Stop being silly.

Comparing NEWS COVERAGE of mass murder deaths with a GUN vs National coverage on those with a KNIFE

So why would a mass murder with a gun get national attention, presidential speeches, tweets and such... Knife mass murders get #Crickets

Ever hear of Robert Bever lately?

No?

Hmmm, maybe its because he killed 5 people with a knife in Oklahoma... Had it been a GUN, it would have made the news.

It's probably because mass murders with a gun happens way more than with a knife. By your complaint......we should spend as much time trying to stop death from complications from pink eye as much as we try to stop cancer deaths. You can't point to one incident and say things like this.

You can't have knife control because a knife is used for other things in society.....I needed one to cut my steak a dinner.....a gun is used for one thing....shoot and kill.

Yep, and defensively so they should be. So here are a couple questions for you:

1. Were there more murders stopped because a GOOD GUY had a gun, then actual murders by people with a gun?

2. Were more people killed last year with a knife, or with an automatic rifle (or any type of rifle)....

Simple questions without using google, and lets see if you are right.

More murders stopped by good guys? Not sure what information your using. The "good guys" with guns, statistically, are more likely to shoot themselves or a family member than some intruder.

It's completely insane to single out rifles....care to include handguns in your question? Or you just wanna use rifles? I'm guessing you wanna just use rifles because it fits the answer you want.

Ummm, isnt the narrative of the "Gun Control" people rifles and assault rifles?

Ummmmm.....it isn't my narrative and it's only part of the problem. Do you ever wonder why people bring guns for mass shootings and not knives. When we go to war.....why not send knives instead of guns? Let's stop the silly comparisons between guns and any other method of violent deaths.

War thats being waged by the US now is mostly by drones, air and missile strikes..... Yes there are a few combat soldiers on the ground, by a very very miniscule number

NFLTrends · Feb 13, 2016

In China, guns are very very very hard to come by.

How many mass deaths by knives were there last year alone?

Answer would shock you..... And how many of those lives could have been saved by a single person with a firearm?

You don't think 2 brothers killing their parents, 3 of their younger siblings while putting another in the hospital by knife is a pretty big story? BTW, you're admitting that these stories about guns is to push an agenda.

knife murders wouldn't happen if the victim had a gun Shush()*

Willie99 · Feb 13, 2016

and nobody even cares about murders in Chicago or Detroit anymore
