The US media ignores the fact that 80% of shootings in the US are with pistols or (far lesser extent) shotguns. Or that these shootings are in predominately poor and black/Hispanic neighbourhoods.
Its only when middle class rich white kids get shot that leads to a media call for the banning of 'assault' (sic) rifles.
However when a neo nazi shoots up a black church with one, its a hate crime. Not a call to ban AR15s.
