If you take away guns from people they'll still stab each other with knives.
Take their knives and they'll throw rocks at each other.
Take their rocks and they'll hit each other.
Take their hands and they'll kick each other.
Take their legs and they'll bite each other.
Take their teeth and... well... They'll look each other to death.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
But some more control on that matter wouldn't hurt, lest Columbine or Virginia Tech happen again...
Right so if the Virginia Tech guy went around and bit everyone would it have been a problem?
And clearly you're wrong. The homicide rate in countries with no guns is so much lower it's just ludicrous.

Ever heard of throwing a knife?
It becomes easy to kill someone when you throw it, but you have to have good aim

1. Taxes - Make more...you'd get taxed more.
2. Health - I don't think Canada has a bad idea having a country wide health care system. People on Medicaid would have to reapply yearly to prove the still qualify.
By the way. I'd completely OVERHAUL the government assistance programs so that people couldn't just pop out a dozen kids and live off of assistance like some kind of leech. Make sure the people who NEED it can get it, and people that abuse it can't.
3. Military - I think we have one of the best military forces in the world, why "fix" what isn't broken? But I would give those fine people pay raises and make sure their families weren't skirting the poverty line.
4. Economy - Larger grants for first time buisness owners. This is to build up new buisness while milionares cry about not being able to expand global corporations that outsource to china. I have to agree with Shadey on that one.
5. Social issues - Quote:
Abortion challenges for all cases, but when the mother is medically proved to be in danger of death.
unless you are the father of said abortion case, be quiet. NO abortion bans if I were Ms. President, but people won't be using it as birth control either.
Quote:
Minimum wage raised to $10 an hour.
YAY Shadey.
6. Education - Quote:
No college student left behind. All graduating seniors get a $40,000 grant to be used at any school of their choice. Must maintain a 2.0 gpa after 2 semesters.
I think if they'd be handing out cash like that for colleges I'd raise that GPA to at least a 3.0 or 4.0
7. Quote:
Car insurance becomes a social program without discrimination based on age. Coverage is 3 levels with 20, 40, and 60 thousand for property damage. Health is covered by previously mentioned social program. Any profits are used to cover other government programs.
I think I need a little more explanation on this one. I don't think there is anything wrong with the current car insurance requirments because it is proven that men are by far worse driver's than women, so put that "Women driver's no survivor's" crap to rest. I think people ought to worry more about making sure people actually HAVE the insurance. Too many people drive without it and I got hit by a driver without any.
8. Gun control - Quote:
Felons, mentally handicapped, and people convicted of violent crimes prohibited from owning or handling guns.
They are prohibited NOW from owning handguns. LOL Why not add psychos to the list because mentally handicapped could mean anyone. LOL

Do you have any idea what that would do to the economy?
