Mass Murder Is a Choice. The Gun Industry Made It
Mass Murder Is a Choice. The Gun Industry Made It
Mass shootings like the one in Lewiston, Maine, in October are the product of the gun industry flooding America with military-style assault weapons.
You're viewing a single thread.
Making Americans suffer the consequences of their sowing FUD for profit is good business.
Their children don't get mutilated beyond recognition at school, because their children's schools are very, very expensive.
Maybe we should hope for a few shootings on expensive boarding schools, then? What a time we live in when you're Actually wondering if you should wish for a bunch of kids dying gruesome deaths to make things better...
Unfortunately, beyond just being immoral, the trauma wouldn't "teach" them a thing anyway.
More than likely, they'd double down on their rhetoric and claim its because there wasn't enough guns and abusive manipulation. Best case scenario, they'd demand some of those tuition fees went towards turning their school (and only their school) into a bulletproof fortress.
If they actually started regretting their actions, they'd just be gagged and buried by their peers.
We can already see this in action -- record numbers of teenagers are blowing their brains out with their daddy's "keep my family safe" guns.
So where are the gun owners publicly pleading with other gun owners to properly secure their firearms? Where are the people haunted by the memory of teaching their child how to load and fire the round that killed them as they patted themselves on the back for being a "responsible gun owner".
They either don't care about their dead kid (unlikely, even for the real pieces of shit), don't acknowledge their role in enabling their suicide or simply don't have a space to talk about it without being attacked.
The reality is that there's no shortage of volunteers willing to play Good Guy With A Gun and sit themselves in the lobby of a private religious school with their gun tacticool gear and defend the school from a shooter.
I know a guy who does just that and sees no problem with it. Same kind of guy who likes the idea of bullet resistant backpacks and bulletproof safe rooms in public schools but doesn't want to be taxed for any of it.
Why don't their children get killed? Why would an expensive school not have shootings?
There's no need to be rhetorical. We know what schools have been targeted by mass murderers and whose children were killed.
For example, the Ulvade shooter used semi-automatic rifles that were purchased from for-profit company Daniel Defense, founded by Marty Daniel, whose children have never been mutilated beyond recognition
They can likely afford better security for one thing.
Can you name one that has?
