I think a fair amount of us do, but the media playing up these incidents makes it an appropriate time to be able to bring it to the people's attention. That's another piece of the puzzle: our media perceptions. The US media is so warped and inaccurately and disproportionately displayed coupled with Americans reliance on it and its infalliability that if we aren't seeing and hearing about the outrage over this every day it simply doesn't exist in the eyes of the general population. Also those are always astounding numbers to me. 34 gun murders per day in America as opposed to the stats someone posted below of Japan's 11 gun murders per year.
