    No, shootings and murders are at the normal rate (which is pretty high by western standards, but not out of the ordinary). What DID happen, is that a high profile school shooting happened, and it's being used in a political push for gun control. That's probably where all the coverage is coming from.

    meanwhile, quietly, the NRA, its stooges and apologists, are quietly biding their time. If anything, they will quietly get added provisions liberalizing even further bits of law and policy such as effectively allowing for interstate concealed carry permits, (thus reducing states' abilities to try and control things for themselves) in the most recent political paroxysm that is currently held up in the US Senate.
