The US is the NRA writ large, pushing guns on everyone in the name of 'defending themselves', even voting to hand another $350 million to Israel to make sure they can launder that US taxpayer money back to the rich people who own the munitions corporations. It's all about the money. It's ALWAYS about the money. We don't care how many deaths we enable, as long as we can move more money into the pockets of the rich.
