It’s the political narrative in the country, a shell game of distracting an increasingly uninformed public while corporate America collects their cash. Trump is the new flavor but DC has been littered with versions of this as long as I have been alive - its a broken system led by special interests & corporate elite
Nevertheless gun control & NRA are not the crux of the problem - I’ve said it before but there is a culture of violence that needs more work than legislation. There are more guns per capita in many other countries that have none of the problems the US suffer from - the guns help but it’s more than that but that requires a level of societal introspection I struggle to see happening anytime soon
