Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[Brian37]

Here you are, and consistently -have been-, peddling fear and misinformation yourself.  Elements of both the far right and far left (and some inbetween) have been feeding off of each other.  There's no sense in pointing the crooked finger out at others for what one has contributed to themselves.

Why can;t we agree that we need to -directly- address suicides and the drug war?  That will solve our problem because it -is- our problem.  Why not talk about enforcing our laws?  Whats all this left/right, guns/no guns shit going to do about that?

Nope sorry, wont work. That is only one factor. YES it is important. But it is still one factor.

The biggest thing that has to be busted up is big money in politics. The gun industry uses lobbyists just like big tobacco and big oil. 

The next thing that has to be stopped is the fear mongering of the NRA lobby.

All the aid in the world in decriminalizing drugs wont mean shit with our pay gap combined with the sell of fear between cops and society combined with the flooded market.

ALL those things have to be tackled at the same time. BUT don't stupidly think the gun makers are not part of the problem, they are.

The NRA uses the same bullshit demagoguery Drumpf is using and it is the same bullshit the 1% uses to sell "don't tax the rich or else you are a commie and love Cuba and Stalin".

You are NOT wrong, but no, the gun factories are bullies and just like the GOP they get otherwise reasonable people to vote against their own self interests and the safety of the public that puts profits over human lives.
