Way too late , 393 million known guns in civilian US circulation. The barn doors not only open they are blown off the hinges. Now we have 3D print ghost guns out there. Illegal now stop and frisk using profiling. Opinion: New Law Will End Deadly ‘Flea Markets for Firearms’ at California Fairgrounds July 10, 2021 Gun shows essentially are flea markets for firearms and are a primary mechanism by which unlicensed, unregistered and illegal firearms are trafficked through secondary markets. According to research by leading policy organizations, gun shows often create the opportunity to circumvent gun safety laws and are a common venue for “straw purchases” and illegal gun transfers. Gun shows also are a major conduit for the sale of ghost guns — gun precursor parts designed to be assembled into a firearm. When my staff and I recently visited a gun show, the most popular vendors were those selling ghost-gun kits for Glock-like pistols and AR-15-style rifles. https://timesofsandiego.com/opinion/2021/07/10/opinion-new-law-will-end-deadly-flea-markets-for-firearms-at-california-fairgrounds/

There was just one of him," he said. But he said the officers stayed outside. He said he suggested a group of civilians "rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to.

Well it does take 60 Senate votes to pass a non budget law.

Also have local police at school entrance at start of day. Then keep all doors locked. Will cost a lot less then fulltime resource officer.

How to keep guns out of the wrong hands is the problem. Until then would need one locked school entrance that can remote open from office with camera on someone wanting to enter . Other places still need a guard with body armor and armor piercing rounds. Does 9mm have armor-piercing rounds? The 9х19mm pistol-fired armor-piercing cartridge 7N31 is designed to destroy enemy manpower, wearing body armor, in the open, behind light covers, and inside vehicles. It is fired by the 9mm GSh-18 pistol

Voters get the politicians they put into office.

The US and NATO should not have been in Afghanistan for more then a year at the most also. The quagmire in Viet Nam taught them nothing.

If the national debt is not a problem then all is well .

Let Warren Buffett head a committee to recommend a fair tax code. That of course would never happen.

Pass fair tax laws and there will be a lot less abuse. Loop holes are written by lobbyists for guess who.

Nope , cutting taxes for the rich when they don't need even more money is unfair , per AOC 🙂

Warren Buffett says he's still paying lower tax rate than his secretary March 4, 2013 https://money.cnn.com/2013/03/04/news/economy/buffett-secretary-taxes/index.html This was way before Trump cuts.

Waiting for Trump to release all is tax returns so Rachel Maddow can audit them. Yes I do thank Trump for doubling the standard deduction.

Michigan Bureau of Elections says top GOP gubernatorial candidates ineligible for ballot Half of Republicans running for Michigan governor submitted thousands of invalid signatures, won't be on the ballot Two of the most prominent Republicans running for governor in Michigan are ineligible after failing to submit enough valid signatures to make it on the ballot. Gubernatorial candidates are required to submit 15,000 valid signatures to appear on the state ballot. According to the bureau, the affected candidates were victimized via a series of petitioners who obtained nothing but invalid or otherwise unusable signatures, putting them well below the mark. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-bureau-of-elections-top-gop-gubernatorial-candidates-ineligible-ballot

Always used standard deduction

Tom Cruise is great as Jack Reacher, M.I. and Top Gun. The couch deal he was crazy about Katie Holmes. Mistake to choose Scientology over Holmes and Kidman (also my favorite) 🙂

I'll bet you don't believe billionaires like Trump don't abuse loop holes. The national debt is no biggy also. I know cut spending would you be ok with less Defense , less Border Patrol ?

Not everyone would volunteer , change the code especially loop holes would be fair to all.

Millionaires at Davos say 'tax us more' Millionaires Marlene Engelhorn and Phil White joined a Davos protest calling for higher taxes on the wealthy They took to the streets on Sunday alongside left-wing activists to call for fairer tax systems worldwide. "It's outrageous that our political leaders listen to those who have the most, know the least about the economic impact of this crisis, and many of whom pay infamously little in taxes. The only credible outcome from this conference is to tax the richest and tax us now." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61549155
