Why the horror from weapons used in mass killings won't lead to them being banned
Analysis by Stephen Collinson
Yet another massacre is yielding horrific descriptions of body-shattering carnage from the killing machines of choice for America's mass shooters.

On a January afternoon nearly 20 years later, another man made his way from California to Washington, DC, on a quest to vanquish elites who, he wrongly believed, had stolen the presidential election from Donald Trump. Daniel Rodriguez, then 38, joined the mob that besieged the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. During the battle to breach the building, Rodriguez used a stun gun on a police officer, who would suffer a heart attack and traumatic brain injury.
