SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I really wonder if our own [[Leftist]] government isn’t perpetuating (mind control, agents, etc) the mass shootings to justify eliminating the right for American citizens (vs. non Americans) to own guns. With the way the Justice system has been weaponized, wouldn’t put it past them.

Numb? No. We just know we can't control the actions of others.

Sgt (Join to see) seems both poles/parties and all administrations have been increasingly dancing around at least a desire to do so - much of which is left to advertisers who dictate to some extent what they want to see in the news. One of the indepenedent candidates mentioned that that big Pharma likes to keep up the fear mongering about medical conditions, and fan the flames of alarm about communicable diseases. Supposedly pharmaceutical advertising is still legal only in U.S.A. and New Zealand!
And all the shooting and horrific crime is likely intended to desensitize eventual public ignoring of so it results in our silence - same 'ol same 'ol as usual<sign>

I agree there is a desensitizing effort - although imo it has been going on for decades and is not limited to the efforts of only one party.
It isn't as if there have not been galvanized efforts for years without solution. That alone creates silence, though not necessarily apathy. Saturating the news with violence, in our own nation could and should prevent mass shootings, and support of genocides elsewhere, however is has not.
It is clearly an ongoing effort to desensitize, because people block out the problems, after repeatedly using the system as intended which only results in repeatedly being stone walled.
I consider a large part of the problem to be that we, the people, do not have more influence with our Legislative branch than foreign interests and corporate conglomerates, and their lobbiests who make sure folks in Congress do not get reelected if the perks and extortive threats of the lobbiests do not result in them cooperation.
"drumbeat of mass shootings and other gun violence across the United States could make Americans numb to the bloodshed, fostering apathy to finding solutions rather than galvanizing communities to act."
