On the other hand, that is essentially what the gun humpers appreciate, that others take it for them so they can keep their precious guns. They really don't seem to care how many die or are maimed from gun violence, just so long as they can keep on clutching them.

It's clear that no amount of gun violence will make them change their minds. I don't need to name recent incidents. The one thing that might possibly do so, I will not suggest here, as it would be seen as my saying that ought to happen. Which is not what I would intend.

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.
