We have a country where the wealth class and political class work hand-in-hand to degrade social systems, impede community-organizing and mutual aid, destroy education, embrace fascism over democracy, and remove opportunities for advancement from everyone but their own children...

...and people wonder why we have a society that is so sick that children are lashing out with self-destructive violence?

And of course that violence and social degradation is then used as justification to further erode rights and autonomy.

Every day a new mass shooting. But the availability/access to guns is totally NOT the problem, right?

"But if we outlaw guns, only the bad people will have guns because they don't care about the law anyway!!"

Lol it's all projection. "Of course they'd break the law and have illegal weapons, that's what I'd do!"

"We need more bad people with guns to give good people with guns a purpose." - people who sell guns
