Out of curiosity what country do you live in?
Maybe your media doesn't glorify violence.
Im in the UK our school shootings are never covered in the MSM
Probably because we rarely get them.
I think Dunblane may have got a bit of press attention though.
CX.
Or they simply don't happen because we have banned guns, funny that eh?

because cars are an essential part of our lives.
much like air transport... electricity....and water! they can very easily cause death, but when managed and handled properly they work. Besides, its acceptable losses for cars and transport, because its common and expected.
Where as mass murders with weapons of war like the Bush Master.. is a pointless price to pay just so some people can stroke their barrel and brag about the attachments and caliber of their weapon.
Guns in the hands of law enforcement, army and for basic home protections are a essential part of our lives.
Having a hobby that lets you build an arsenal capable of destroying countless lives... just doesn't seem essential.. to me!

so many more murders and shootings happen everyday, but only report on the ones that spark irrational emotional responses to court people to support the states agenda of 'gun control.'
thats the only reason why we're hearing more of these stories.
We never hear o the guy who saved lives with a gun. no we dont want that in the news because the MSM wants to make all gun owners look/sound like irrational crazy domestic terrorists who need to be locked up in a looney-bin.
You forgot to mention that only the US media reports this, the UK media doesn't bother reporting our school massacre's...
