The unlimited money is why gun control has become such a radicalized issue, so rather than a last resort because the other more important institutions are failing, I believe it is this radicalization around single hot button issues like the 2nd amendment that are the cause of these failures. That’s what I mean by it being a smoke screen. Convincing a large portion of the population that firearms are the only thing protecting their rights when instituions are failing is exactly what is making us head straight down the road to tyranny. We need to focus on fixing these institutions, guns only guarantee destruction, misery and tyranny. This goes back to Reagan’s « the government is the problem », the government is not the problem, the government is us (or at least supposed to be). But maybe we’ve already reached the point of no return where there is so much money and power at stake that the system’s only purpose is to protect the interest of the people who have it.
