John Hart, US government and politics specialist at Australian National University, says he’s been “surprised” how little air time firearm regulation was getting in the wake of the shooting.
“(There’s been) very, very little discussion about arms control,” he tells ABC’s Afternoon Briefing.
“And it seems to me that the explanation behind this event, at the moment, is guns.
“Until something is done about regulating firearms in the United States, the possibility is that this will occur again and again and again.”
Mr Hart posits a lack of hope for genuine gun control could be behind the lack in coverage.
And as for whether the event will change Trump’s stance on gun control, Mr Hart’s answer is unequivocal.
“You’re not going to get Donald Trump on the Republican convention talking about gun control.”
