I should have phrased that more clearly. The cyberpunk thing is that we've got more aggressively open carrying and more dramaticly stupid shooting incidents like the string in Florida, very much the way a lot of cyberpunk has the trope of heavily armed idiots opening fire at the slightest excuse. We have nothing like cyberpunk levels of violence and as you point out it's mostly getting better, but we do have more incidents that'd fit nicely in a book than we used to and we have more people displaying weapons. I'm thinking about the little color bits thrown into cyberpunk to clue the audience in and things like the Zimmerman, Dunn, and Reeves cases fit in perfectly with that (modulo actual human tragedy).
