Oh, Piers Morgan forgot to mention it was an ex-convict. He JUST talked to Ted Nugent and was told that the problem with gun violence in America has to do with releasing violent criminals from prison.
America isn't the only country with overcrowded prisons, or indeed insane people, as the sinister note the killer left indicates. It does have a horrificly high rate of gun crime though. You can't stop people from being insane. But you can stop insane people from having access to guns.
As to whether or not this is getting disporportionately high media coverage, quite possibly, but the fact that the rifle he used was the same make and calibre as the one in Newton is obviously something the media will latch onto.
What I'm curious to see is what the head of the NRA will say in lieu of these shootings, given his suggestion to have armed guards in all schools. Arm all firemen too?
