It is very rare to have great video coverage of a person using a firearm (not necessarily fired) to save lives. With great video coverage of a hero saving even one life the event will appear in the media (including print media)repeatedly. It isn't censorship - it is attracting the audience and, therefore, sponsorship dollars. Several years ago a boat went over a dam in Des Moines, Iowa, and was trapped below the dam. A foot bridge was under construction above the dam. A worker was lowered from the bridge with a chain and his safety harness and was a able to grab a woman clinging to a PFD or throwable PFD and save her. Her husband drowned. Video crews got there in time to produce some spectacular video (still available on the internet) and still photography won a Pulitzer Prize.
