The United States of America is awash in guns with over 270,000,000 in the hands of private individuals. Gun violence and deaths happen at an alarming pace every day and recently, stunning acts of mass shootings have staggered the public’s sensibilities. The final straw may have been the killing of 27 people, including 20 six and seven year old students when Adam Lanza attacked Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut armed with a semiautomatic assault style rifle in December, 2012. Public outrage has led to a renewed effort to curb gun violence and part of that solution may include restrictions on certain types of guns and the amount of ammunition they can hold. Social and political forces have both drawn lines in the sand with the 2nd amendment of the Constitution and its interpretation as the grand issue. Forces of profit, politics and outrage collide as some have almost created a gun god and would do anything to protect it. Carnage Control- Surviving The Gun God separates hysteria from facts and looks into sensible solutions as a huge new battle over gun control law heats up in the United States as the President has introduced new measures to curb gun violence.

President Barack Obama won a decisive victory in the 2012 Presidential election over his challenger Mitt Romney. The voting public spoke loudly on the direction they wanted the United States to proceed, but there seems to a political revolt taking place at the state government level. Many Republican governors and other GOP politicians decided that they would go in a different direction than the national electorate and started a political uncivil war to oppose implementing as many Obama initiatives as possible at the state level. The day after President Obama defeated Mitt Romney in the election for President of the United States, an online petition to succeed from the United States arrived at the White House from the state of Louisiana and shortly thereafter succession petitions arrived from all fifty states. While states succeeding from the union are highly unlikely, it does underscores the divide we have in the country even after a decisive election victory by President Barack Obama.
