I want to just add something to this topic thread even though probably very few on this board don't know the following. I think it should be in any thread about guns.
We must state clearly that the Republican politicians who have fought against even basic gun control are the essential root cause of all of the ongoing, senseless gun deaths in America because of their long-standing collusion with gun manufacturers, the NRA. Too many Democrats have been involved too, but they have not been in any way the drivers of the problem. There is no other possible way to state the reality.
Some Americans have been given a delusion that guns can protect them if a fascist government (ironically, like Trump's would be) gets into office. This is the supreme fantasy of the uneducated. The government would just cut off all supplies of water and all deliveries to fast food restaurants, and all the middle-aged white males who've horded guns and ammo, along with all the Neo Nazis, Proud Boys, and KKK members, would surrender in a week. The B2 bombers would not be needed, and not even a few attack drones.
Americans (a subset) own a just a whole bunch of guns because they were told lies and made paranoid over decades, and wasted a huge amount of money in the process hording guns. They, just like all of us suffer with a society where easy access to guns--including weapons of war designed to tear bodies to pieces--mean outrageously unnecessary suffering and death. Watch this and share it:
