I wish I could lend them as much credit as you are, but no.
The firearm CEOs use the same divide and conquer tactics as big tobacco and the fossil fuel industry.
Greed is the same no matter the product. Unfortunately, as compassionate as my species can be, and I wish more would gravitate to, our species still has far too much of an element who values greed and bullying.
And yet, you drink beer. Alcohol-related deaths in the US outpace gun-related deaths by almost 200%. Are the CEOs of alcohol-producing companies responsible for this? If so, why aren't you railing against people who produce alcohol? Or tobacco? Or junk food?
