It represents a surrender to the greedy gun industry and to the most extreme members of Congress who support it. The reasoning behind the GOP&#8217;s acquiescence to the chronic killings is pitifully weak. They argue that the root causes of gun violence are tangential issues such as mental health or video games. But those societal factors are present in every other nation that isn&#8217;t plagued with mass shootings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53383\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOP Senator Tells Fox News that Support for Gun Reform in Polls is Because People are Stupid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Never mind the slaughter of innocents and the grief thrust upon their loved ones. Republicans ignore the fact that majorities of the American people favor substantive, common sense gun reforms and regulations. That&#8217;s been established by virtuall every poll on the subject, including this one by Fox News&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">seen on Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OUza5WFiHm\">pic.twitter.com\/OUza5WFiHm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1538517003157311488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Despite the overwhelming public support for reform, Fox News and the Republican Party stubbornly persist with their pro-gun biases. To that end, Fox News hack, Mark Levin, hosted GOP Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Insurrectionist) to advance their ludicrous agenda for weaponizing America&#8217;s youth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Hawley:<\/strong> &#8220;You look at what our kids are taught in schools. From the time they go to preschool, for heavens sake. They\u2019re taught that if they\u2019re a boy, if they want to be aggressive, if they want to talk about guns \u2014 oh, that\u2019s bad. They need to be medicated, they need to be quieted down. When they get a little older, they\u2019re taught that manhood is inherently dangerous, that it contributes to climate change, that they need to renounce their masculinity. You see this ideology, it suffuses, permeates our media, our culture, all driven by the Left.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Josh Hawley says the Left is trying to destroy traditional masculinity because every time boys in pre-school are aggressive and want to talk about guns they get put on medication. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/099JFmzSjV\">pic.twitter.com\/099JFmzSjV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonFilipkowski\/status\/1658146945561509896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So in an environment wherein mostly young men are wantonly murdering people in their families, their neighborhoods, their schools, churches, shopping malls, etc., Hawley thinks that aggressiveness in preschool boys who talk about guns should be encouraged? That&#8217;s just plain sick.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s not even get into Hawley&#8217;s bizarre assertions that boys are taught that manhood should be renounced because it contributes to climate change. In addition to being dangerous and nauseating, none of what Hawley said about schooling was true. It would be bad enough of Hawley were the only one embracing these views. But he isn&#8217;t&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53115\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ted Cruz Babbles that if All Firearms in America Were Eliminated there Would Be More Murders<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hawley&#8217;s advocacy of aggressive, gun-obsessed children is precisely the sort of demented prescription that would exacerbate an already dire state of affairs. He is espousing a course that would only lead to more sorrow and loss. Republicans like Hawley not only fervently oppose any affirmative action to address this epidemic of senseless bloodshed, they openly favor actions to make matters worse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53161\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">POLL: 44% of \u2018Law and Order\u2019 Republicans are Totally Cool with All the Mass Shootings in America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consequently, this is not a problem that can be fixed by reasoned debate. There is an unholy bond between the gun industry and the Republican Party. Until that bond is broken, the United States will continue to suffer the most mass shootings of any nation on the planet. So the only effective path to change is to break that bond by voting out every Republican at every level of government.<\/p>\n<p>The American people need to rise up against the non-representatives of the GOP who are thwarting their will. And with cretins like Hawley articulating heinous notions like those above, the opportunity to elect conscientious, compassionate leaders becomes all the more necessary &#8211; and possible.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsie.social\/@NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States is unique among the world&#8217;s nations for the frequency and fatality of assaults with guns.
