I think we really need to allocate more funding from the Department of Defense and the Pentagon into our public school system. sorry.

I HEARD A VET TALK ABOUT HOW THERE WAS WORK FOR THE ARMY AND WHEN HE CAME BACK HE COULD NOT FIND A JOB, WELL THATS PRETTY BACKWARDS THINKING.

some fight resistance to what guns symbolize, rooted in revolutionary war ideals

there is fear that if u give an inch (e.g., universal background checks) leads to a mile (full bans)

THE UNITED STATES HAS 400M+ GUNS AND 50K+ GUN DEATHS/YEAR (HOMICIDES, SUICIDES, ACCIDENTS).

compromises that exist

safe storage laws

mental health funding

licensing systems

WHY DO THESE MEASURES FAIL?

Polarization and lobbying (NRA/gun-control groups profit from fear).

smart guns could shift debate towards safety over bans

to fight or not?

we can be better

probably i mean **50k yearly deaths is a lot of affected families**

i think all people should have access to a blog touch id

particularly people in jail to create or write while they are not getting an hour -2 hours outside with the sun and the wind, the air

a small station, screen, keyboard, small pc/chromebook and have stock photos to pick from or connected to the internet, we are going to have to fix the schools first

clearly then we can do the prisons/jails, then adults, low-income

its like we don’t want to spend money or something, through our goods and services, we as a people generate 25 trillion(25,000 billion)

I think there is much good we can do with this

the days will still be moving, time and space will still exist, hopefully

I mean you will see it really comes down to the party or $.

when you destroy that then there really is no question on who’s side to be on

people, humans, not $

we will as far as I can tell always have goods and services

the one thing that I see changing is that goods are produced in abundance.

again there is no inherent reason to do this

people enjoy their lives, their fine wine, and car

this is what occurs

these people will fight tooth and nail

no one ever signs up for a forced charity in other words, taxes

think global
