Ambulent Lethal Weaponry

 If the dissemination of dangerous assault weapons isn't a large enough problem in the United States!  Why is violence so rampant and widespread in America?  Some would say, "Guns don't kill people, people do," and "If the AR-15 isn't available, they would find something else."  Staunchly I disagree.  If assault weapons (or semi-automatic rifles) were not available, then mass shootings resulting from many rounds fired in succession by a cowardly, mentally- challenged extremist would be less deadly.  If a malcontent had to orchestrate his assault with a single shot hunting rifle or a double barrel shotgun, his result would be less grievous.  Face it.  Multiple spewing rounds of spinning AR-15 bullets will cause more casualties in any setting, and that includes domestic terror attacks in shopping malls, schools, and outdoor entertainment venues.  Innocent citizens have become the unnecessary victims of the facile availability of assault rifles.  Period.  Our state and federal lawmakers turn a cold shoulder to the seeming meaningless deaths of our children and continue to saturate the American economy with guns.  They want the violence like January 6th.  Since 1/6 our representatives have not tightened gun legislation; they are loosening it.  "Weaponization of the Government?"  This weaponization is not from Washington.  It is from Corporate America.  Corporate America's polluting of our environment is an attack on the people.  With this widespread liberal view on ownership of assault weapons (which only will be used to kill other human beings), why would this same consortium fail to regulate their own businesses?  They don't want to.  They don't want PFAS out of the watershed.  They don't want clean air.  They don't want to prohibit microwave radiation which causes human cells to mutate into cancer.  These weapons are a tangible by product of their industrial processes and are useful to fascists.  When an industry is aware of the dangers of its manufacturing processes, then they become "weaponized."  They know they can cause harm to human beings.  Given the chance if their own livelihoods or sensibilities were challenged, in anachronistic Jim Crow Jr. fashion, they could torture or kill outside the the law.  Complain?  Pain!  Voice opposition?  Pain!  Yearn for democracy and freedom?  Death!  To undermine a nation and abolish its democracy?  Attack its children and pollute their minds.  It is Shakespearean.  Create a product that is useful and people love; kill them from the byproducts of its production.  Love and loss, and it is Shakespearean.  For profitability there must be sacrifice?  The needs of the greater good?  When Corporate America is woven into our infrastructure, how can we extricate ourselves from their influence?  When their factories are perched on the banks of our rivers, how can we expect clean water?  Why are they there?  Knowingly they use our rivers as toilets too cheap to deposit a dime.  Shitting on the many, these elite few live in ivory towers and gilded castles immune to their own effects.  In the end, and it will come,  communion with the earth will be our salvation.  The potential was there, but these few chose not to act.  Instead they chose to rape the people and Mother Earth.  This is the evil about which Jesus taught and warned.
