    "We're trying like the dickens to treat the symptom without treating the disease," NRA president Oliver North about the rise in school shootings. "The disease is youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence."https://usat.ly/2KK0i9Z

        He’s right. But the disease is the NRA. It spreads quickly through Washington with its campaign dollars. It must be stopped so sensible legislation can finally come to pass.

        Good job 👏 Captain 👩‍✈️ Obvious! Now we need to secure or limit access to those weapons of death 💀 before anyone else is injured or killed. We surely don’t want the NRA to be an enabler, do we?

        Does having guns available to every citizen contribute to a “culture of violence“?

        Without the assault weapons these shootings would not have killed so many. Other shooters were not so young.

        Guns have been around since the beginning. Beginning of what? History? Wrong. First gun was Chinese Fire Lance. Designed to kill people. Every gun since is just evolution of a killing machine.
