Bill Maher Goes Off On How To Stop School Shootings

Political commentator Bill Maher has suggested a solution to the issue of school shootings in America: a media blackout on the perpetrators. Maher argued that the media's constant coverage of shooters and their actions inspires copycat attacks. He drew a comparison to the way that cameras don't show individuals who run onto baseball fields during games, denying them the publicity they seek. Maher expressed his disinterest in knowing the details about shooters, such as their orientation, age, or manifesto. By refusing to give shooters the attention they crave, Maher believes that media companies can help prevent future tragedies from occurring.
