Massacre Repeat Massacre Repeat Massacre Repeat © 2017 Jeff Gates Chamomile Tea Party

Las Vegas, Orlando, San Bernardino, Washington, DC’s Navy Yard, Sandyhook, Aurora, Tucson…. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been 60 mass shootings and murder sprees in the United States. Over 500 people have died by domestic gun terrorist attacks. And, after each one, gun rights advocates stand behind the 2nd Amendment while others call for stricter gun laws followed by flags at half-staff, moments of silence, and thoughts and prayers.

Then we repeat the process at the next massacre.

From 2000–2015 over 10,000 Americans were accidentally killed by guns. And, still nothing.

As long as our Senators and Representatives are more interested in their re-elections than American lives, the NRA, which contributes millions of dollars to their campaign coffers, will continue to exert undue influence and nothing will happen. We will repeat this pattern ad nauseam.

This poster is part of a series of posters Jeff Gates does under the guise of the Chamomile Tea Party. Often taking World War II-era propaganda posters he remixes them with new text and imagery about the rancor so prevalent in American political discourse.
