The steady increase in using guns comes from things like movies, where people use guns to solve their problems, and the steady coverage of the shootings that do happen. The absolute refusal of gun apologists to consider limiting guns or gun ownership. Doesn't matter how many little kids are murdered in school, or concert goers at an outdoor venue, or a family gathered together to watch TV. They will never restrict guns.

No need for subliminal messaging. The messaging is overt.
