Media Matters has previously highlighted Fox News coverage in the wake of other school shootings where network personalities deflected gun control solutions.

The network dove into other similar solutions after mass shootings like those in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas in 2019.

The watchdog reported Fox News personalities pointing to overuse of video games, mental health needs and so-called gun free zones as concerns after mass shootings that killed 9 bar patrons and 23 Walmart shoppers, respectively.

Tuesdays shooting has led those on Fox News to look for any answers other than gun control. They have focused on a need for tax breaks, childrens fears of being a school snitch and flimsy fencing.

While Fox News pundits look for other solutions, Congress is considering a number of gun control measures including two bills for background checks and legislation to ban ghost guns or guns without commercial serial numbers.

Over one half of Americans are hoping for stricter laws on gun sales, according to a poll by CBS News and YouGov , although more Democrats than Republicans are looking to see tighter gun sale legislation.
