The common denominator here? Easily acquired guns in the hands of people who obviously shouldn't have them. People are dying every day because the right-wing Second Amendment absolutists and NRA apologists don't give a crap about American's right to live. Actual quote: My Second Amendment rights trump your right to live.
Kind of reminds you of Trump's very right-wing elitist views on the haves and the have nots doesn't it? Only in this case the "haves" have guns.
