The unholy alliance between the Republicans and the gun industry (as manifested by its slavish devotion to the NRA) has always been a mystery to me. I didn't grow up on the US, so I have never understood the gun fetish that so many in this country have.

When nothing happened after 6 and 7 year olds were slaughtered, in their classrooms, nothing ever will.

Republicans refuse to see that easy access to assault-style weapons is bad. This belly-up rollover to the NRA costs hundreds of lives every year, but as the perpetrators are 99% white men who *might vote, mass shootings will continue. It didn’t matter to them when kindergarteners were slaughtered or police officers were killed; they only care about money and power.

I respect and appreciate everything you do. I call/email my officials, but living in KY, it's like talking to a wall.

Your point about using the right words is critical.

EX declared war on this country when he charged and incited insurrectionists to take over the Capitol and go hunting for Pelosi and Pence.

Call it what it is: WAR.

Don't indict for sedition. Call it what it is: TREASON. Indict for TREASON. Punish for TREASON.
