Another Sad Day With The Death Cult

HOUGHT FOR ANOTHER SAD DAY: Today's gun culture is a death cult. It worships the power to kill. Its cultists feel good at the thought that they have the power to kill, and they resist any limitation on their godhood. That resistance to reasonable limits is the give-a-way. A thousand deaths after Las Vegas, and the Gun Cult won't even let us ban bump stocks.
The sacrifice of thousands is their offering to their god the gun. The cult leadership, like the leaders of any cult, may be in it for money and power. Cultists enrich them and in return are blessed with every trick of rhetoric to justify the right to carry the power to slaughter a classroom of children, but it all comes down to this:
If your desire to feel good because you have the power of death is more important to you than the desire of any child to live, then you can not be trusted with the power of death.
