Of course the murder of 33 people is newsworthy. My point is that compared to the deaths of 41K people annually, this incident is blown way out of proportion, for political purposes of gun control.

People get excited about plane crashes too. Even through the death rate on the highway is (something like) a fully loaded 747 crashing every three days. Only mass death is interesting.
