The gun lobby (arms dealers) promote gun violence on our streets in order to create an "arms race" mentality among the reason-challenged gunner crowd so that they can sell more guns. It is a vicious cycle which is exacerbated by stand-your-ground vigilantism, the justification of shoot-first excuses for murder, and the unfounded fear of "confiscation."

The die-hard, cold-dead-hands gunner crowd has been used by the greedy gun lobby for years as a cheering section to increase gun sales and to promote more gun violence to keep the obscene marketing machine running. The right-wing militias are itching for a chance to ride into battle in their big trucks, use their big guns to murder American citizens for whatever cause is currently popular, and also enjoy the support of treasonous MAGAt politicians.
