There have been several mass shootings by transgender individuals in the US. It is not the first time.
You are right, the bought and sold media is quick to change the channel(no pun intended) when it does not fit their narrative.

To your point, this was pretty prescient (superbowl shooter)
Politics aside, this shooting is tragic.
As usual, the very religious politicians (J.D. Vance here) offerred the answer to these mass shooting : THOUGHT AND PRAYERS ! Big consolations to the victims families.
Another day another mass shooting in America. We have created the environment for this carnage because of a perverted interpretation of the Second Amendment. Republican politicians, in bed with the NRA and gun lobby, refuse to address this perversion and make America safer. Make America Healthy Again should start with a ban on weapons of war.
Another one.

FBI probing Michigan church shooting as 'targeted violence' as death toll climbs to 4
At least four people are dead, and several others were injured after a gunman opened fire at a church in Michigan during Sunday service.
Mass shooting number 324 this year so far., according to the gun violence archive. All routine. Nothing to get excited about. Thoughts and prayers, yadda, yadda, yadda.
On Saturday night 3 were killed and 5 wounded, 1 critically, at a bar in North Carolina. The carnage continues in the Wild West that is the USA. We are an angry, murderous, and armed to the teeth nation.
Really makes you want to visit lol.
Nothing will change, each administration will blame the previous one and thoughts and prayers will be their only answer.
That's were you are wrong in blaming both sides. Republicans have completely acquiesced to the NRA, the gun lobby, gun manufacturers, and those Americans who think the 2nd amendment gives them the right to own weapons of war. Democrats want sensible gun safety legislation but cannot get republicans to get on board and pass legislation. Individual states do what they can. I live in a very blue state that has passed sensible gun safety legislation and we have many fewer gun deaths than red states.
Keep on believing the nonsense you and other Democrats say while people keep on dying from gun violence.
Democrats have had many shots at being in power and yet the killings continue. Always better to blame the other side lol.
They are no better than the Republicans.
Americans have this love and fascination with guns that no other country comes close to.
It seems to have less to do with legislation than it does with what can get through the courts. Federal stuff is pretty much doomed to failure and every state initiative has to go through reams of judicial actions and appeals against them. It has less to do with who's in power than it does with which fringe group will immediately start a court action against any initiative which challenges the status quo. As you say, love and fascination, but it literally only takes one disgruntled moron to stop, stall or delay any changes forever or for years, and not just for gun laws. The litigious nature of the US is a far greater weapon and trap against the American populace than is either political party.
Strange that you can institute tariffs and try to hold the whole world hostage and blackmail them overnight, but you can’t change gun laws.
I don’t think there was ever a loud enough outcry from the population to force governments to act.
It is almost political suicide for any government to try and enforce significant gun controls.
Americans love their guns and they do not want change.
Hence the federal change is doomed to failure comment that I made. State changes are entirely possible though, just cumbersome, as you need to wend your way through the NRA funded court opposition to make change. Meh. It is what it is.
