America is addicted to guns

[BWdem4life]

I know a thing or two about addiction. One thing I know is, before you can recover, you have to hit bottom.

The problem is, everyone's bottom is different. What might be the bottom for one person might not be low enough for someone else.

America, as a whole, must hit bottom before it has a chance to recover from its gun addiction.

I thought Sandy Hook would do it. Sandy Hook didn't do it. Sandy Hook would have done it for any other country, but America is a much tougher case. Knowing that Sandy Hook wasn't our bottom, we can presume that Uvalde is also not our bottom.

I don't know what America's bottom will have to be. I don't want to see what America's bottom will be. Probably none of us do.

But apparently, we don't have the luxury of having that choice.

1. Show the pictures every day. To all Americans.

If that doesn't change anything, there is no hope.
This country has lost its soul and gone to the dark side.

3. I would have thought Sandy Hook would have been rock bottom.

But then Alex Jones declared that it was a false flag and ordered his goons to harass the families of the victims until they entered the Witness Protection Program. Which led to Vegas, Parkland, El Paso, Buffalo, Kyle Rittenhouse... the list goes on and on. I'm convinced that there is no bottom.

5. There's either a bottom

Or the addict dies (or is incarcerated or committed. No analogy is perfect.)

Ok, there is a third option: Intervention. Low percentage shot, but it does sometimes work. I don't know what that would look like on a world scale though, and I don't know if our "family" of allies would be able or willing to pull one off.

My assumption is that there's probably not gonna be an intervention. That either leaves rock bottom followed by recovery, or the death of America as a nation.
