‘Trump didn’t create racism and white nationalism. It’s as American as apple pie, but what he did was he called the fire from up under the Earth.’

Q: Don't both parties take blame in the inability to find a solution to these mass shootings?

Sen. Sherrod Brown: "No. No. No … We can't get anything done in the Senate because Mitch McConnell and the president of the United States are in bed with the gun lobby."

Here’s the thing about the latest white supremacist terrorist to be arrested: he became *more* of a threat & got *more* violent in the 3 years since this original report on his dangerous behavior. It shows that Trump being in office didn’t placate him, it further radicalized him. https://t.co/bzRf2zUJIM

This is incredibly disturbing.

What is even more disturbing is that all of this incendiary rhetoric is being monetized wholly by advertising dollars.

The United States currently has more guns in circulation, nearly 350 million, than any country in the entire HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

No other nation is remotely close.

And as the number climbs, mass shootings climb, and gun deaths climb to a record high.

The more Americans die from mass shootings the more guns Americans will be led to believe they need to "protect" themselves. The more gun laws make it easier for them to "protect themselves," the more we all die.

Did you know that the United States is the ONLY nation in the world that has more guns than people?

We have 122 guns for every 100 people.

No other nation has 100.
Or 90.
Or 80.
Or 70.
Or 60 guns per 100 people.

In fact, only 1 other nation has more than 40.
