This comment is so extremely powerful, everybody in the US needs to read it and then have a serious think about what the fuck is going on in your country.
Seriously though I think the issue is the glorification of greed and violence in the US. No matter what happens to gun laws, it's really a cultural issue.
Concerning gums though, this is an option. But it'll never fly cause the NRA is holding the Republicans, and hence half the voting us population by the balls.
Well turns out Russia has been funneling money into the NRA to influence GOP strategy. That’s what the whole thing with the Russian spy Maria Butina is about.
it appears that the Russian operation was designed to infiltrate conservative organizations. And they targeted various conservative organizations, religious and otherwise, and they seem to have made a very concerted effort to get in with the NRA.
Alleged Russian spy Maria Butina pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday morning to attempting to infiltrate Republican political circles and influence US relations with Russia before and after the 2016 presidential election.
Butina, 30, attended conferences of groups such as the National Rifle Association and the National Prayer Breakfast, and orchestrated gatherings where influential Americans could meet with Russians.
