If you don't want to talk about something (such as children dying by guns) then you do two things. First you change the subject just slightly (children dying by drowning) and then blame the "other side" so that they feel they have to defend themselves.
So many things are important and need our attention. Unfortunately we can't do everything at once, so what is in the news gets attention. And with our short attention spans we don't actually get anything done before the next major issue flares up. So mostly we just fight about things and the deaths go on ...
