In reply to the discussion: Why U.S. Gun Sales Are Shooting For The Moon [View all]Doctor_J
(36,392 posts)26. For the same reason we have record poverty, bogus elections,
corporations deciding everything that happens, millions without health care, and so on...the country has become a right-wing hell hole.
What used to be a beacon to the world has become a world wide joke, for these reasons and a number of others, including the fact that it's a gun nut's paradise. If you can't see the connection between these issues, you need to read something besides right-wing rags like Forbes and the NRA propaganda. Frankly it's bizarre that a forum whose main concentration is cheerleading far right issues and politicians even exists at this site.

Safer? Not because of more guns. Besides, if you are safer, why do you want more guns?

We also have historically low levels of violent crime - you have never been safer

More guns is a RW position. More guns have not caused gun crimes to decline. Give us a break.

Are you the appointed arbiter of determining "cheerleading far right issues and politicians"?
