It’s just my own personal observation but to me it seems main stream media stories about the Virginia Beach shooting cover the firearms aspect much better than in the past. They said the shooter had .45 pistols with suppressors and the AP story below doesn’t go nuts and demonize suppressors. They present opinions that the suppressor(s) probably had no positive or negative effect.
It also seems the name of the shooter is NOT appearing as often in this story as it has in past shootings.
Could it be that the media are tired of looking like fools when they describe guns? Could it be that they are trying to minimize the publicity given the bad guy?
One can hope.
