Barack Obama not being a citizen is bat shit crazy. Someone had to verify that he was a citizen to become President.
Abortion: My personal feeling is that if people want to have sex, prepare to raise a child. And I don't mean Grand Ma taking care of the little one while mommy finishes high school and sowing her wild oats and daddy only stops by every 2 weeks with 50 bucks. Having an abortion on my dime as a regular and accepted practice of birth control is no good for anyone. Society needs to address this situation at it's roots and not use abortion as a form of birth control. The "A woman's body is her own business." doesn't fly because the situation extends past a bitch looking to grab a nutt.
Guns: I had a BB gun when I moved to rural NY as a kid 100 years ago. It was fun breaking bottles in the back yard. An older teen brought a 22 one day and the kick turned me off. I don't need a gun. I don't want a gun. I also don't care if my neighbor has one. The notion that there is a wide spread threat to take away our guns is lunacy. The NRA supports licensing, registration, and background checks. They also preach about and teach safe handling and storage. Owning firearms is a huge responsibility in their view.
I don't know the answer to the gun problem. If we make a law that locked storage, when not in use, can be randomly inspected... that opens the door to the state walking into homes at free will. Nobody wants that. State by state or municipality to municipality regulations can work. It would be a pain in the ass to people that want to transport their guns to do hunting or practice shooting but tough shit. It's being a part of being responsible. Live with it.
That takes care of the home grown gun enthusiasts. Illegal are different thing. Where do they come from? I can only think of 3 places. Smuggled, lost, or stolen. Lost and stolen are the sole responsibility to the license holder. Get insurance on the gun's liability. Lock boxes and cabinets reduce your premium. Storage at a gun range for use only there reduce it even more. That insurance money would go into a bank for people that got hurt by a gun. I don't know. I'm just throwing thoughts up here. Things that the gun people won't mind doing.
I've gone long enough in this post. You want to hear other stuff, I'll be glad to respond.
