27. We've always been violent. Our entire economy is based on us being violent
The NRA has us conned into believeing they are about gun rights when they are mearly a lobby for gun sales and the bulk of our economy is based on the sales of war toys around the world. If you sell war toys, you MUST make war to use them up so you can sell more.

Our whole system is geared toward violence to make this system palatable. Wave that flag!
