Gun deaths - whats it really about?

I've held off for the last 24 hours but i think it's time to post this.

I think the bigger issue here is how many people got shot in the last 24 hours in USA occupied countries which didn't make the news??


Or better still according to this article 81 nobodies died from gun shots in the USA today (average) - http://blog.collins.net.pr/2007/04/gun-deaths-in-usa.html  - yet because a few "somebodies' died in yesterdays shooting it's a big deal in the news cycle / the president stops for a moment silence etc.
 
So whats was yesterday really about?
 
 
Cheers,
