The overwhelming majority of murders have nothing to do with mass shootings; the latter get more attention because they're liable to involve upper-middle class white people.

No, I honestly don't even seem to care anymore . But the media is great at highlighting negative things. Mass shootings and murders have gone down in the US for a consistent two decades.

It has not. It reached a bottom in 2000, and ever since it's gone up. In 2000, there were 28,000 deaths caused by firearms in the US. In 2013, there were more than 33,000.

Overall homicide rates are still decreasing--moreover, the majority of firearm-related deaths are either suicides or accidents.
