Fetuses and firearms: that’s what makes America America — that and the ability of an 18 year-old to buy military grade weapons. At least 21 shot dead in Uvalde, Texas; 10 shot dead in Buffalo, N.Y.; a total so far of 69 killed and 260 injured in mass shootings since May 1. Besides, protecting the Second Amendment matters more than protecting people who obstinately stray into the path of bullets. This year’s NRA convention boasts “14 acres of the latest guns and gear” and an all-you-can-eat buffet of corruption. On Abbott, on Ted Cruz, on Rick Scott, on Ron DeSantis, on Mitch McConnell, on Donald Trump, on every single official who refuses to do anything about America’s killing fields.
