But we simply need to break the mass shooter fever. Major media outlets have a strong anti-gun bias and don’t want to “encourage more gun violence” by reporting death or injury by gun in a positive manner. The successful defensive gun use story has to compete for resources with other stories of wider interest such as “climate crisis”, “orange man bad”, and “defending democracy.”My best stab at remediating the problem are the following ideas:Work at increasing the successful defensive gun use cases so that the total number is decreased. Report successful defensive gun use events in social media. Encourage media outlets to report on successful defensive gun use.
