I think we should re-categorize Republicans from being "pro-life" to simply being "anti-abortion." In the literal sense, they often contradict the term pro-life. Republicans have regularly fought against policies aimed at protecting and promoting life and well-being, all under of the guise of 'wanting to limit government over-reach' and protect freedoms... when it's convenient to them. Gun control is perhaps the most prominent example but there are a number of others, particularly in the social program realm. Too many Republicans want to force you to have a baby and then provide relatively unfettered access to the gun that may one day kill them. If they were truly "pro-life," they'd acquiesce to the truth that wrangling in our gun violence problem involves not only mental health resource improvements but also serious and aggressive changes to our gun culture and policies; which, yes, could make it way more difficult to own a gun. And the best (or worst) part is this - this is what most Americans want. Most Americans want stronger gun control. It's the bureaucrats and special interest groups who are preventing this. 2 Link to comment

And you realize America has lost multiple wars now in Vietnam and the Middle East to people who didn't have any of the sophisticated weapons that our military has right?... What citizen has tanks, missiles and fighter jets? Which war did we lose in the Middle East? Serious questions. Link to comment

This. Similarly, I've always thought state senators and/or governors who vote for the death penalty should be required to witness one being carried out. 1 Link to comment

Every state should have the death penalty. There are people that do things that demand execution. Everyone knows it and believes it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Parker_Ray 1 1 Link to comment

nic Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Yup, the founders added a way to remove an amendment. It's been done before. The current level of distrust in government will make it difficult. We would need a good leader to push this through. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/09/opinions/gun-reform-second-amendment-repeal-uvalde-shooting-press/index.html Link to comment
