It is almost as if that is an acceptable price to pay, to some. For what,exactly?

It is an acceptable price for some people. You just have to look at the sheer number of shootings. We have more mass shootings than calendar days in a year in the US. This is normal. This is how things should be.

>For what,exactly?

The right to keep whatever guns they want in whatever quantity. They value that more than actual humans. But given which crowd is noisier about their gun enthusiasm and fascist tendencies of dehumanizing everyone who isn't WASP, that shouldn't come as a surprise.
