and the absolutely psychotic fetish about the right to have them and I DON'T support our troops when they are killing innocent civilians and I DO have something against people being rich when others are in poverty and resources are *finite* and I'm TIRED of people tiptoeing around these things because the corporate media has made right-wing framing of these issues seem the only possibility...

fetish and market created for them by the right. There seems to be a marketplace of gun atrocities where one psychopath tries to outdo the previous monster. And then the NRA jumps in and tries to suppress any resulting discussion. All so that there will be no learning. The right is dependant on gun culture to give them a new crop of army soldiers every generation. To protect and procure US wealth. To get gun nuts to vote against their own economic best interests and give tax breaks to the rich. And no amount of dead kindergarteners is going to stop them.

I would settle for serious real regulation of guns but it isn't my ideal position. I don't believe guns have a place in modern society - I just don't.
