Gripped

Guardian UK: Why the US has so many mass shootings - There’s a disparity between overwhelming public approval for modest gun control reforms and an almost total stasis gripping Congress on the issue

The endless mass shootings seem to have a common core. The almost endless hatred spewed out by right wing MSM like Faux News and Hate Radio which has fired up the deranged gun nut fringe out here. This has turned America into a mass shooting gallery, where disturbingly the targets are increasingly clinics, schools, community centers, Churches, Synagogues and Mosques. The right is in denial about this and seems to think the answer to this is even more gun violence.

The right wing nuts could cut their very own noses off with their own hand and then attack their hand for the crime. It's the same 'logic' that you are describing and something that I agree with. There isn't a lot of reflection and questioning of motive on the right, it's a very emotion driven self righteousness fueled with very primitive anger. It also seems to get amplified and become downright mob like in crowds. Just look at Congress.
