never leads to good outcomes either. Almost as if the NRA wants to see more violence so that the NRA can convince more Americans of the necessity of being armed at all times.

Great for weapons manufacturers and their paid lobbyists. Not so great for the majority of Americans who do not have a gun, nor for the many gun owners who are at more risk of gun violence merely by having guns in the house.
