One of the subtle evolutions of American conservatism under Donald Trump has been the transformation of gun culture from an enthusiasm for freedom to a mechanism for instilling fear. https://www.thebulwark.com/this-aint-about-freedom/
This Ain’t About Freedom

The right’s gun fetish isn't about the Second Amendment. It’s about intimidation.

Do you honestly think that happened in 4 years amid a culture of mass shootings that far predated 2016? Stop giving that oaf so much credit for the sake of such lazy scapegoating. Assign accountability where it is due: self-serving political extremism on both sides of the aisle.

@bulwarkonline No, it didn't start with Trump. The NRA and the gun sellers have been marketing fear for a long time.
