Hi my name is Don and I guess you would call me a redneck. I live in Nevada in a rural area where we live by a code of common sense. No one could survive long in the high desert without using common sense. With that said here are a few common sense items I’d like your opinion on.
What are your feelings on gun control? Personally I feel that responsible citizens who happen to own guns are not the problem. Any criminal can buy a gun off the street to use for his or her misdeeds. They aren’t going to go into a Gun shop and hope they pass scrutiny on the background check. How does tougher regulation curb violence?
The 2nd Amendment was not designed for hunters, it was designed to control the power of government.
The removal of guns from the good citizens of the country does not stop gun violence it just leaves the citizenry vulnerable to bad guys with guns. I hate to say it politicians but we’re not Europe nor will we ever be Europe no matter how much you try to make our great country into a European clone, it just ain’t gonna happen! That’s why we have a 2nd Amendment, that’s why our Fore Fathers suggested strongly that we have guns in the first place.
What about this National Debt? I know most people don’t understand the politics of debt but one thing I know for sure is; If you hold our fat to the fire any closer we’ll become the next Greece. Both parties are to blame, they should be looking in the mirror instead of pointing at each other. It seems to me we could cut spending significantly by taking the waste and fraud out of Welfare and the free ride out of the Senate and Congressional benefit package. Congress should pass no law that exempts themselves from participation. They should be required to work like the rest of us and retire with the same Social Security program that we do, it’s the one they have plundered. The idea of the Legislative body was to be one of part time. Serve a term and go home to your job not to be used for personal gain in wealth and power. Professional politicians maintain their power through legislation of pork.
Redistribution of wealth is what Hugo Chavez did, it cemented him to the poor in the country but in the end just made the country poorer. The poor do not create jobs for others. He did it by Nationalizing companies that others had built, our government does it by taking the money from those who earn it and giving it to those who don’t. This is the same money that use to be used to reinvest in industry that benefited the poor by offering jobs and security to them. Eventually the drain takes more than is available and we get that sucking sound that no one wants to hear.
That’s my opinion, what’s yours?

i agree with you..re:guns..guns do not shoot by themselves, the criminals will get them one way or another, why shouldn't we be able to defend ourselves if necessary..the debt issue..my gosh they can't even begin to do that i guess..have any of them ever WORKED? they're supposed to be working for US..
I think that sucking sound is already upon us. People are getting more money for not working in many cases and as a result have become dependent on the government. Sounds like sucking too me.

I like the part about Hugo Chavez, it is true he made the overall country much poorer but the poor loved him for punishing the wealthy.
