Ah, yes.  I am sure that the disgusting shooter was a big fan of theirs.

I blame them but there's so many dynamics at work and it's the American culture.  The gun lobby would not have legitimacy if it weren't for all the folks who back them.  The American culture is one of independence and the me me me only me tradition.  We saw it during COVID, we see it demonstrated by how privatized for-profit healthcare is run, we see it in so many ways.  It's not a civilized society.  Everything about how a country is doing is interconnected be it financial, cultural, etc.  The problems we have is all about not caring about each other enough and politically, about too many issues at hand that everyone wants a piece of.  It's not just the legislative branch at work - its the fans who support the gun lobby and they in turn pressure the politicians into doing their will.  There are also Dems who support them and Republicans who support gun right limits.  The thing is - we don't have a culture that supports a healthy society.  Frankly, I don't think legislation at this point will actually do much as I think there's just too many guns out there in the wrong hands and too many attitudes that need to be changed but never will be.  I think that we have to keep going and let it get to a point where it's so crazy even the people who thought this would be OK isn't.  I give it another 5 years or so though.[/quote]

I agree. We're beyond fixing this illness with laws. Our country is literally flooded with guns. We now have to live with what we created. 
My best friend's daughter is at MSU. Was on her to way to meet her roommate at the student union. Her roommate was already there and experienced the whole thing. Both traumatized now. So what did my friend's BIL, her daughter's uncle, do this morning? Post on Facebook on everyone's right to bear arms. After my friend received alert after alert after alert from MSU last night, going through every parent's nightmare. This is where we're wrong. Even when it becomes personal, where your selfishness is apparent and you finally get it, we're still not getting it. [/quote]

My nephew experienced the trauma of 9/11 first-hand. He does not hate Muslim people and want them banned.[/quote]
