Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: I'm okay with violent felons owning guns after they serve their sentence... [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,669 posts)Our system (social, economic, justice...) needs to offer people more options and more support.
- Minimum wage needs to about double.
- Non-violent offenders NEVER go to prison.
- Healthcare needs to be a civil service job run by the individual states and federally subsidized.
- True capitalism maximizing small business opportunities needs to be simplified and the field leveled.
- Prisons, schools, hospitals, health insurance and healthcare overall need to be operated as non-profit preferably by government entities.
- Election reform (so major a topic it's beyond the scope of anything I could say in less than 1,000)
- Drugs: I'm almost at the point where I think we should have no laws at all on recreational drugs. The $5,000+/week addiction clinics need to be taken over by the states and publicly funded and managed just like public healthcare.
- Income inequality needs to be addressed and social support for people needs to be available.
- Volunteerism needs to be popularize, focused, expanded and built as a community resource.
- Firearm ownership transfers (sales, gifts, rentals, loans...) outside of immediate family need to go through a BGC at the local police or sheriff's office.
- Prisoners (the violent ones) have a phased return to the community: work within the facility and prove worthy of trust and your can move on (prison operated businesses, work release and ultimately parole.)
- Parole is a one per lifetime shot; screw it up and you're serve the remaining sentence. Subsequent convictions don't have parole as an option.
- Congressional reform: I'm not sure how or what but I don't really buy that 435 people can represent 320,000,000 (700,000+ each).
- Tax reform: from 1944 through 1963 to top marginal tax rate was over 90%. I've heard the '50s were some of the best years ever.
That's a start on my thinking.
