I looked up a list of which industries spend the most on lobbying, the drug industry is number one, the gun industry was not even on the list of the top 20. I bet the ratio of advertising on the TV news is about the same. The politicians and media will never ever go against the drug companies whose products come with a warning "may cause suicidal actions". They will continue to scapegoat legal guns. The other day they were claiming that Columbine was the first school shooting, I guess to push the false narrative that only semi auto rifles are used in school shootings. I guess they want people to forget about the guy who shot 45 people with a bolt action rifle on a campus.
