The ultra wealthy and their Republican and media pawns are gearing up to either steal the 2024 election or to stage another coup to seize power. Everything they are doing has that end goal in mind. Their corrupted “Supreme” Court is a key component they are counting on.

In a functioning democracy, the way you'd get public-policy change (like changes in the gun laws) would be to bring more public attention to the issue. With mass shootings, we know that doesn't happen, but what that public attention does accomplish is helping to further the right-wing project of getting us to all hate and fear one another and stimulating gun sales both from idiots who rush to buy more guns imagining this latest shooting might inspire us to actually do something (ha ha, as if) and from people persuaded they now need to buy and carry a gun on their next trip to the mall.

Of course, ignoring mass shootings, if such a thing was even possible, wouldn't work either. Seems like the gun-lovers win no matter what course you take.
