Think about it how fucked up this is. [View all]
The gun manufacturers support the NRA with LOTS of money. Over the years they turned it from just another special interest group with special interest focus into a superlobby. A political force. A powerful organization with the sole purpose of selling more guns.
Meanwhile, the US government is almost certainly the biggest single customer of these gun manufacturers. It is an absolute certainty that your tax dollars and mine go from our pockets, to the government coffers, to the gun manufacturers, and then to the NRA. There are no regulations in place to prevent this pipeline from pumping our money into the promotion of devices with the sole purpose of killing.
Amazing as it may seem, each one of us paid, in some minute measure, to get the guns out there for assholes like the Bundys, drug dealers, the Mafia, Trump supporters, the Dallas shooter, and legions more social misfits.
Nice, huh?
