Why do people, on both sides of the issue like to focus so much on mass shootings? 2020 had very few "big profile" shootings that the news loves so much while still having the largest number of gun deaths recorded at 19,000 plus. More people will die over this holiday weekend with more perpetrators involved in any major city than the number of people who were killed in this Florida shooting, virtually guaranteed.

I'm not saying that it isn't important, but the lack of concern shown for the vastly larger number of spread out deaths compared to the ones the news makes headlines out of makes me wonder if the people mocking the thoughts and prayers crowd really care anymore than they do.
