oh, and incidently...who do you reckon will make the guns if they suddenly become free? And, does this just limit it to being handed a gun upon becoming a citizen of a certain age, or can I...say...if I want to have Beyonce, I should be able to simply take her...or if I want someones porche, I can simply take it.
Reading your stuff makes me feel really sane. Thanks for that.

Sooo...the government should buy everyone a gun.
And how do you suggest we pay for that? What if you dont want a gun, can you skip paying the tax that would equal a firearm cost to begin with (considering feds get milked when buying product...that 200$ gun just became a $4,000 gun.)

Well, since it's a right if you want to exercize it, and not all Americans want guns, the money to pay for it should be made by taxes on marijuana after it is legalized. But before it's legalized it should be paid for via of state sales tax.
Ha. It can be a smooth operation either way.
