We talked about mass shootings before; last time after the Las Vegas shooting just five weeks ago. Last SundaySutherland Springs became the fifth worse shooting in modern US history, pushing Columbine out of the top ten. An assault rifle was once the again the weapon of choice, but in spite of the outcry no action is expected. However, Sutherland Springs had others elements that became the focus of media attention.
This time there was outside intervention by a private citizen, which stopped the shooter from escaping. This played into the pro-gun rallying cry, "only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". Meanwhile, gun-control advocates focused on the shooters history of domestic abuse, which should have kept this bad guy from getting a gun.
Here are the videos for the meeting, note that the comedy videos were made before the shooting:
