Seven people shot early this morning. After a fight on a party boat.

You're correct. The national news won't discuss it because it reads like an average day in Detroit (no offense). The horrible violence in Chicago garners very little attention as well. Gotta have the "right" kind of attacker to make the news.
That being said, the FBI is now quick to label the recent "Sikh Shooting" as an act of Domestic Terror when the same authority refused to label the Ft. Hood shooting as such. The FBI and the DOJ mopped up that case and put a polish on Hasan as fast as they could. Just the opposite in the Wisconsin shooting. They are already quick to paint the shooter as a skinhead/white supremacist who probably thought he was attacking a Mosque rather than a Sikh temple.

No problem, detroit (wayne county) in general has seen a huge surge in concealed carry permits, but the majority of crimes are perpetrated by people who illegally obtained there firearm. Taking guns from the law abiding citizens will do nothing to stem the shootings done by unlawful guns.

Yet another mass shooting, but the people shot must not be important enough since the story garnered no national media attention.

But not too much on open carry (openly carrying your sidearm on your hip). I am very surprised it hasn't caught on in a larger way.
