The racial backround is most important to the media.
The use it as they see fit to push a certain viewpoint.

And you can decide why that is, but that's the truth of why nothing has been published. The public, and therefore the media, doesn't care.

I know I don't. Besides an interest in this discussion, I truly don't care to read the identities and the motives of the shooters, although if there's a young child involved that would move the needle.
what you care about is "gun", "Shooting", "mass" and want to make it into a "People don't kill people, those horrible guns kill people" argument.

You might do well to read austinnerd's post. And if you have, and commented, read it again. I don't care nearly as much as you about restricting guns (and I don't even own any), but you apparently don't even know what you're talking about.

We all know you don't even know what you link on the subject actually says

And that loophole needs to close.
except it doesn't say that.

SOME are illegally HELD, meaning someone bought it legally and then HANDED IT OVER to someone that isn't allowed to possess it.

There's no record of an Indiana gunshop owner advertising on a telephone pole in Chicago for his business "come one, come all, no background check, no questions asked!"
Exactly. For criminals to get firearms, laws are broken, which is sort of what criminals do on a normal basis. How is this so hard for people to understand ?
