It is the leading cause of death among children. That is not true in other parts of the world.

30k deaths per year is an outrageous number

Greg Abott was speaking as a Gun industry apologist when he said that long guns have been available forever and the spike in assault weapon violence has only been an issue for 10 or 20 years.


My deer rifle is nothing like an AR with various furniture kits. A lot of the cosmetic marketing features are actually functional. It is like the different between beer and Everclear. A lot of people buy the false sense of empowerment that they are selling. They would not be doing it if they were not making a ton of money. They would not be spending a ton of money buying deregulation if everything they were doing was perfectly fine. The politicians they bought don’t give a damn about any constitutional rights. It is no different than coal or any othe special interest deregulation.

I am sure the industry is spending a fortune selling guns and gun culture.
