Facing topics brought up in Republican debate
>2nd AMENDMENT: While guns are important for some loyal civilians, illegal gun usage has become a major problem. We should ban the sale of assault rifles and make sure all purchases of guns have a background and psychological check (if one was not already taken that year) to verify that the purchaser is not on the verge of shooting up a school.

>POLITICAL CORRECTNESS has gone too far, but don't go being overtly racist or sexist.

>MILITARY STRENGTH is important for keeping our alliances and our world safe, but we must not intervene in every little conflict. We need to stop running up our budget by drastically reducing profits from private deals.

>TAXES should not be flat rate. Keep current rates, but eliminate loopholes. Tax offshore accounts, too.

>THE SUPREME COURT is important, but has been used as a political tool.

>IMMIGRANTS do not need to learn English. We should not force upon them one of our customs. They should do as they please with language.

>ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are a problem. We should solve this by a) Legalizing most illegal drugs b) Making immigration easier c) Send military in to destroy drug cartels. d) Financially support the Central American countries

>The IMMIGRATION SYSTEM must be made easier and quicker to pass through. Many immigrants come here illegally because of the wait.

>GAY MARRIAGE is fine.

>ABORTION should not be considered unless the mother is close to death, sick, was raped or in cases of incest. If none of these cases, send the child to an adoption center.
>THE BIPARTISAN RIFT must be mended. Unlike a certain president, I would be willing to listen to both parties. The best solution would be a zero-party system. Other solutions would be to ban bias in news (similar to UK) or to simply compromise.

Guns should be illegal unless you work in a profession which requires guns ( like farming) and even so you need a background check and a licence

Military is strong enough as is, slash its budget

Super progressive tax system billionaires have more than enough money

Abortion is mother's choice, baby isn't alive yet

Make most drugs legal but put rehabilitation centres for users

Why does the government need assault rifles? Gun control is not gun control it is advocating one person with a gun taking a gun from another.

Are these not party-only threads? I thought the debates happened later?

Anyway I'd like to drop out because I think the organisation is quite poor.

Keep all the people in the military employed but stop employing at such a rate so it will go down slowly and it won't be a sudden thousands of unemployed and not everyone in the army needs to go around equipped like a tank

There are plenty of country's with illegal find that don't fear their government

Raising the tax on people who could survive for 100 lifetimes with half the money they have is not idiotic, it is common sense

Making drugs legal doesn't cause addiction to rise, look at the Netherlands and Switzerland, in both drugs are legal and both of them are thriving

That is like saying you are a criminal for killing sperm, it could have had
So much potential, why draw an arbitrary line when it is conceived

By slashing the military's budget, you are removing so many thousands of jobs. Unemployment will go up and social welfare will increase out of pure necessity. OR we can keep the military, increase its size, save lives will securing US interests and create jobs.

Guns should never be made illegal. By removing guns completely you are basically creating a nation in which the citizens are afraid of the government and it is clear that a nation in which the government is feared by the people rather than vice versa is or will be a tyrannical one even with the best intentions.

Raising the tax on billionaires who create millions of jobs is idiotic. We should lower taxes around the board to create extra revenue and encourage entrepreneurship and lower or remove social welfare to supplement the drop in income from it.

Making drugs legal will not only cause addictions to rise as it becomes a norm of society, it would be betraying ourselves as taking illegal substances leads to nothing but a worthless junkie who is a drain on society. Lock them up!

The baby is alive and will have their own impact on the world but if they are not allowed to live they will never have the chance. What if they had aborted Jesus?

Paragraph 1: You're automatically assuming you can only cut a budget by firing people. You can also cut profits.
Paragraph 2: I would agree that removing guns completely is too far.
Paragraph 3: Rich have more money to give. While some of rich are honest and good (ex. Bill Gates), others are not so honest. Why reward those with a lower tax rate?
Paragraph 4: *cough* *cough* Switzerland! https://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=wJUXLqNHCaI *cough* *cough*
Paragraph 5: Then you wouldn't be asking that question. Also, birth control was not regularly practice in ye olde days (unless on a pillaging raid), as more hands were needed for work and to continue the practice. Correct me if wrong, though.

Have you not seen the growth of drug usage? Have you not seen the outcry against police brutality? Have you ignored the incarceration rates grow substantially? The fighting has led to instability and a growth in the very thing it tried to stop: drug usage. The War on Drugs is a catastrophic failure. At the end of the day, size doesn't matter.

I am not for stealing all guns.
If it isn't an assault rifle, chances are I'm fine with it.
Definition:
...the rifle type of assault weapon as a semiautomatic firearm with the ability to accept a detachable magazine and two or more of the following:

a folding or telescoping stock
a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
a bayonet mount
a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
a grenade launcher

While some of these can be explainable, others would be downright odd (a grenade launcher? Seriously?).

I need the assault rifle to shoot up f*ckers like you steeling my freedom.
If that is your only use, it is a) downright creepy b) a reason I don't trust civilians with assault rifles

You could attach a machine gun to a truck, doesn't mean we should outlaw trucks because of how dangerous a machine gun is.

Unlike with assault rifle, the truck can have the machine guns removed and it is still a truck. Removing the bayonet, grenade launcher or whatever suits you would not make it an assault rifle.
Under my proposed plan, rifles would still be legal, so the "truck" would not be outlawed in the first place.

When government takes away the rights of the people, they (the people) must rise up before it is too late. I personally believe a rebellion/coup d'etat would be good for America right now. We need to clean house and start over. I don't mean you personally, of course, but if you were my leader, and denied me my rights, I would need to do something.
