I am the Thorian, known as Species 37 to you people. I am an ancient sentient plant that is fifty thousand years old. My ability to hibernate for thousands of years makes my real age impossible to guess though you are welcome to try.

They happen all the time. It's just media coverage that's increasing.
I think it's both, tbh.
The media is just paying more attention to it, but they never talk about the good guns do, they rarely talk about when someone defended themselves with guns
There was a full blown media coverage of a young bloke who got the Victoria Cross for holding his ground and killing 12 people. He used up everything he had including a mine and still survived.
