A gunmen goes on a rampage, and the Conservanut response is to blame the media and demand limits on freedom of speech.

Because we have no proof that the media creates copycat gunmen, but who cares, just blame the media. And of course god forbid the Americans do anything logical like have some type of minor gun control. gun control

We can't stop the flow of drugs into this country, how are we going to stop the flow of guns? Get with the times dude.

We're not saying the media creates the gunmen. Where would you get a stupid idea like that? The media helps further the gunmens goals. The gunmen want fame. The media gives them this. If the media didn't give them fame, perhaps the gunmen would be less likely to kill a bunch of people and just kill themselves. I can't guarantee this would be the case, but it's worth a shot.

No one is saying the goverment should censor the media. If the media can withhold the name of a rape victim, why can't they withhold the name of the shooter?
