The Oregon shooter reference gaining fame re: other shooting incidents. Gaining fame for himself seems to have been part of his motivation. So I propose passing legislation banning all mention of shooter's names during media coverage of these incidents. They already voluntarily avoid naming victims without their permission yet readily name the shooters. Let's take away the fame and notoriety of mass murder at least from media outlets. If going on a rampage doesn't get your name in the poublic sphere, at least not to the same extent, then maybe we can spare at least some people this fate.
If we can't get it via a law, then let's apply social pressure and threaten economic boycotts of media outlets who do name the shooters.
