Two headlines together I find extremely ironic [View all]

From the New York Times morning headlines in my Inbox.

“The shortage of baby formula has hospitalized two children who can’t absorb nutrients properly.”

“Gun manufacturing has nearly tripled in the U.S. since 2000, fueled by sales of handguns”

What screwed up priorities this country has.
