War is a racket, even if it's against your own people. Gun culture and the shootings epidemic, and the subsequent industries that have sprung up as a result like this one, are massively profitable for a small group of people who either work in government or have it financially by the balls via "lobbying" (bribery), and they will always prioritise that profit over your life (or the lives of innocent children, for that matter). Every, single, time.
