There was another school shooting, so that can only mean that it’s time once again for America’s favorite pastime! It’s the Gun Control Shuffle!

1. Have a mass shooting

2. Bury the dead and cry.

3. Politicians talk about the need for gun control so this never happens again.

4. Gun manufacturers, through their lobby group the NRA, warns that the government is out to take everyone’s guns.

5. Gun lovers buy lots of guns because they believe the NRA and the right-wing media.

6. Gun manufacturers’ income skyrockets.

7. Gun manufacturers use this money to bribe politicians through their lobby group, the NRA.

8. Despite overwhelming public support, no gun control passes.

9. Another mass shooting occurs.

Repeat every few months.

Note: This originally ran on September 17, 2013, which means we didn’t even have to wait a few months! Let’s see how long we get to go before we do the Shuffle again!
