For over a decade now the NRA and Republicans who are financially obligated to them have waged a campaign of aggressive pro-gun activism. They have convinced the public that gun ownership is essential to survival. These Republican policies have come to fruition.
The chest-thumping, white Americans proclaiming the most important thing to them is their gun have set the new norm of our Republican-run America, a mass shooting every month. The NRA, Republican politicians and all those white voters will have to own this bloodshed.
Americans have been brainwashed by their leaders to think that they are now somehow justified to use a gun to deal with anger issues. What else is a gun for? If we changed today and put into place common-sense gun laws it would not change anything for a long time. Americans are so massively armed now, it would take centuries to undo the crazy. This is the new America that Republicans campaigned on and crazy people voted for.
Up next are the effects of Republicans refusal to accept global warming. Hang on, America, crazy is in charge.
