It was a matter of time. Mass shootings are normalised there and making money from it seems like the logical next step.

Our world is so fucked up.

There were so many responses to that stat that were like "Yeah, but let's be real most of those happened in inner city Chicago." Do these people realize that they're essentially arguing that the shootings mostly harm black and poor people so those ones don't count? A mass shooting is a fucking mass shooting even if the victim isn't middle class or above.
