Gunsmiths addressed an unmet need in the 18th Century, just as the market for swordsmiths was strong a few hundred years earlier.

But now that there are 13.4 million guns made annually in the U.S. alone, each factory-manufactured with amazing precision, it’s unclear how one could get ahead in this career space.

Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.

This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.

What’s next?
