Republiguns see mass shootings as natural disasters

It's obvious Republican gun lovers now see mass shootings as natural disasters that can't be avoided like tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.

In their view they're unavoidable tragedies. Nothing can be done to stop them. And like with climate change they deny easy access to assault weapons are a real issue.

They see this as an acceptable way to live and part of God's plan.

Personally I just stay vigilant in public and try to stay out of the line of fire. We're all living in Amerigun: The land of health control and gun care.

The NRAs huge donations, so they are perfectly fine with putting you and yours at risk of being blown away at any time. Just to keep the campaign donations rolling in.

As long as they're still fundraising and getting re-elected they don't care.

and selling them without restrictions of any kind throughout the US, making hefty profits in the process.

That would hold the analogy true, but it would also make the analogy ridiculous.

The first thing they do is send requests asking for money to help protect the second amendment. They send those first, before the thoughts or the prayers.
