Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 days agoThey absolutely aren’t as widely reported; but not because of desensitization, it’s for the same reason suicides aren’t reported. Theres been studies showing it’s “contagious” and that reducing coverage helps suppress further occurences.

Then the action of reporting less should be combined with actively dissuading gun owners from mass shootings. So it has a noticeable impact and doesn’t just feel like people sticking their heads in the sand. It’s a human enough response, but USA has hard coded into their legislation and that can’t ever be challenged, apparently.
