You’ll notice that, as of this writing, the NRA hasn’t tweeted at all in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., nearly a week ago. After the mass shooting in Las Vegas last October, a political discussion about banning “bump stocks” — devices that allowed the shooter to increase his rate of fire — soon collapsed. (Google Trends data compares relative search interest for a term. Search interest in “gun control” after Newtown was more than three times as high as interest after the shooting in Las Vegas.) #2A #NRA https://t.co/7ZeVAaP6Hf — NRA (@NRA) February 20, 2018
