But it could be two or three nations by then, even as soon as the next 1T. No doubt, our ridiculous gun obsession will be one of the deadly things that kills America, sooner or later. The Second Amendment is as much of a poison pill in our Constitution as "three-fifths of a person" and the electoral college have been. In a whole lot of ways these days, middle America just can't get it. Pathetic.

This is sad but seems to be the case.  Our gun obssession is now a very real subculure, much like religin.  It has many of the same traits of absoute belief and refusal to see the facts.  Like TeacherinExile, I'm at a loss how this gets solved short of killing the 2nd Amendment, and that's a very heavy lift.
