For a low tax loving country, the US seems to be very willing to pay the NRA tax, 30-50.000 lives, mass shootings and massive investments in SWAT teams, armoured vehicles, body armour for police and dozens of extra police officers as they need to be ready for assault rifle war on every street corner.

Bram, maybe the cost of allowing assault weapons should be a democratic platform plank support. I had thought about the deaths before and the sacrifice of our children to the gun gods, but had forgotten to include the costs of all those police, vehicles, and military gear we supply police with, which they then can use against the people of color they go after on the side. That is too great a price and we need to stop affording and spending it.
