'For starters, the much-maligned 'gun lobby' happens to work in favour of the arms industry—the very same arms industry that reaps massive profits from the apocalyptic imperial wars that Biden has devoutly supported.'
in Uvalde, Texas—during which 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 children and two adults—United States President Joe Biden demanded:"When in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?"
He shared an epiphany he had just had on a 17-hour flight from Asia, which was that"these kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world"—and went on to pose the question:"Why?" Which brings me to the following point: if Biden is really concerned about having an"impact on this carnage," perhaps he should connect the dots. For starters, the much-maligned"gun lobby" happens to work in favour of the arms industry—the very same arms industry that reaps massive profits from the apocalyptic imperial wars that Biden has devoutly supported.
Indeed, for a striking insight into the American soul—or lack thereof—one need look no further than the New York Times stock marketfollowing the Uvalde shooting:"Gun makers' stocks, which often rise after mass shootings, jump."
