In the run-up to the midterm elections, the National Rifle Association spent sixteen million on 257 Republican nominees plus another 8 million on lobbying state and federal Legislatures. How many millions were spent on influencers and propaganda on social media? Most of the twenty-four million came from their members who believe the line they are fed. Most of the rest is from the gun manufacturers and retailers.

      The manufacturers and retailers have been successful in their efforts to persuade legislators to pass laws protecting them from lawsuits involving bad manufacturing and usage by murderers. They have done this with campaign donations and direct money in the legislators pockets through legal ways.

      The issue is probably one of the two most divisive issues in America with the other being abortion. For several years we have been warned about Russia’s cyber groups putting misinformation and divisive stories onto social media under the guise of being Americans. Their goal is to further divide us through many Americans addiction and belief in social media.

      The United States has more guns per capita than any other country but Israel which requires their reservists to keep their military issued weapons at home. We have more gun deaths than any country not in a war. Why? Twenty-four million in just one election cycle is a great first guess.

      As of this writing 10,467 gun deaths, 6,006 suicides, 424 children under 18 killed, and 131 mass shootings as of this year and yet little is being done to stop the spread of guns. Twenty-four million!?!
