Maryland Mall shooting

It's apparently a case of unrequited love, which is not an uncommon motive
for murder. However, for some reason the American news media feels the need
to ignore the race of the murderer. Would the American news media be doing
so if the murderer had been white and one of the victims in this alleged
love triangle had been black?

Another interesting aspect of this crime is that during the past 40 years
many states have mandated permit requirements and/or waiting periods (AKA
"cooling off" periods) for purchasing handguns, on the grounds that handguns
were more likely to be used in the commission of crimes of passion, whereas
long guns (shotguns and rifles) were used for sporting purposes.. It never
seems to have occurred to the anti-gun Leftists that someone bent on
premeditated murder might simply circumvent the bureaucratic obstacles by
buying a long gun, instead.  Or maybe Leftist did, and they now have been
given reason to call for greater restrictions on the sale of shotguns and
rifles. After all, the ultimate goal of the Left IS to ban all private gun
ownership and they have understood that such a ban, like most of their other
transformational goals for American society, will have to be achieved
incrementally over a span of many years.
