:::I remind editors that this is a global encyclopaedia and that this event gained coverage all over the world. Not surprisingly, given how lax American gun control is compared to the rest of the civilised world, that aspect was a major part of the coverage outside the US. To rule out coverage on the basis of no political action yet inside the US is too narrow a perspective. To the rest of the world, gun control is probably the major issue of this event. This is a global project, so gun control should be a significant part of the article.
