Want to buy a machine gun over the internet? $2,000 says you can!
The sad truth is that big cities were just the canaries in this endless, nightmarish coal mine. Assault rifle violence hit here first. We screamed at the top of our lungs to stop the flood of assault rifles into the hands of crazy people. And rural Americans just shrugged and said “tough shit.”
It’s their turn now in the barrel. As a practical matter, it is way, WAY too late to get the guns out of the hands of all the batshit crazy GOP voters who have snarfed them up - particularly in the last 8 years, under Obama, when the “Buy an assault rifle to protect yourself from the Scary Negro In The White House” dogwhistle marketing campaigns really got traction.
They voted for this. This is what they wanted.
