Everybody\u2019s talking about it. Until something gets done, everybody\u2019s wailing, whining, moaning, what have you. Meanwhile, you could have a devastating flood in the Midwest, you could have the movie theater in Aurora, and there isn\u2019t the same outrage in the media. There isn\u2019t the same, &#8220;What are we gonna do about this?&#8221; I mean, after Gabby Giffords and after Aurora, Colorado, there were no demands for massive new gun control laws.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t have the mayors or governors in those states going nuts enacting new laws immediately. The media wasn\u2019t pressuring or demanding it. In the Northeast, there is this pressure. It\u2019s just something I observe. I don\u2019t know that it means anything, but I think there clearly is, because the media lives there. The media is affected by this &#8212; &#8220;impacted,&#8221; as they say &#8212; and demand it now, at this very instant. More so than when it happened&#8230; I\u2019m talking about the media strictly.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the country, such things do not happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, look, there are a couple of exceptions to do so, but I think for the most part you\u2019ll get the drift of the question.
