The obsession with guns by rabid male Trump supporters is disturbing. How much sillier can adults look like when they dress up like a military man or a police officer walking around with a big gun? Psychologists see these behaviors as signs of helplessness and inadequacy. A majority of Americans support a ban on military assault weapons and background checks for gun purchases. However, elected officials don’t listen to their constituents, they listen to the NRA.

Normal women don’t find men attractive who wear clothes that match guns. It is strange, scary and suspicious to be turned on by owning a weapon for personal use. How many more children and hate-targeted groups must die before America joins the rest of the world in passing sensible gun laws that protect ALL American lives? Democrats own guns, and some take money from the gun industry. However, by comparison, republicans are disproportionately funded by the NRA. The following GOP members of Congress take the most money from gun lobbyists. He sought political support and support from a hungry base:

Donations to members of Congress from special interest groups must stop. The control of our government officials by groups like the NRA has led to policies that kill people. Majority of Americans want gun reform. They are smart enough to know that reform is not a threat to the Second Amendment. They were smart enough to understand the founders intended the 2nd Amendment to allow militias to bear arms in defense of the state with the weapons of the day: muskets. The Republican Party has misinterpreted the right to bear arms to mean that any citizen has the right to amass as many guns as they want despite the threat to public safety. Anyone with common sense knows that a family doesn’t need military-grade assault weapons to defend their home from intruders. The NRA is an extremist group that wants power and control over the American government. Republican politicians have abandoned their oath of office, common sense, and morality in order to gain political support from the arms, pharmaceutical, and oil industries. That’s called corruption. America is fighting back in the polls, and despite the corruption, the majority want policies that save lives and promote decency and a united country.
