A Fox App. They will instantly report them to blame radical left trans people and show bullets with confessions on them. Gotta get ahead of any facts for their bullshit to circle the planet 3-4 times.

But here's a reliable site that is recording shooting in the U.S. It is updated frequently: https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting

EMS short form notifications for some reason (recent change to my alerts)... I was going to look into why I am now getting these, but I'm sure I may be on some list that crossed wires... ? Most are really minor, but my first thought was, well, am I supposed to do something about it?

At any rate, national notifications for every shooting event might be a bit too much...

I'm afraid that only the one with the highest casualties or if it involves the death of a popular figure, will get attention from the news.

I was going to say love, but that seemed wrong word…

If the media would produce a segment, in their news, a count of the mass shootings that day and the number of dead by gun.
That might be the only way to put the issue into the minds of the average person
