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.

Paugers,
Why would an average citizen need an assault rifle?
What do you have against background checks?
Also, GIVE EVIDENCE. YOU ARE BASING YOUR CLAIMS OFF NOTHING. SERIOUSLY...

I'll handle this. I need the assault rifle to shoot up f*ckers like you steeling my freedom.

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.

Vote or peacefully protest.

We have elections for a reason. Also, when a bunch of states tried to rebel, lots of people died. Please refrain from doing that. "Good" to know the threat isn't personal.

Didn't do shit for the colonials. If people didn't rebel, we wouldn't have the right to vote of protest.

You are correct. We have them because some people rebelled and earned themselves that right. When governments become tyrannical, as is natural, rebellion is the only avenue we can recourse to. Or would you rather be in the British Empire still?

That doesn't mean violently preotest and revolt every time something is "bad."

I think you're missing what I am trying to say. A better question is: "What is the purpose of elections?"

You know, third parties are not even allowed to be on the ballot. The American Communist Group hasn't been on the ballot since 1945. With gerrymandering and just forward, easy vote rigging, speech freedom getting lower and lower, what good are elections, you tell me.

And y'know, Britian did have elections, and there were repesentors from America...come to think of it, those elections were actually kind of fair (not equally represented, but demography wasn't a science back then).

Anyhow, I'm not for the "unknown loon can buy a gun without any trouble", but I'm definitely not taking the "liberal" stance on this, either. The same problems with guns are there with drugs, it's mildly hypocrtic to want to ban some guns, that just makes a black gun market and more folk buying it.

I join Green group, just don't ask me about economy and we'll be fine. Also, I run for leader. Ok, so let's work on that party platform.

*America should stop supporting all Middle Eastern and other governments, and possibly put sanctions on some.
*Everyone earns the right to a fair hearing in crime.
*Lower military spending by 100%.
*Stop fighting every country America is at war with now, and fight indisputably defensive wars.
*End the NSA, FBI, and CIA, and like agencies spying upon their denizens.
*Uncap immigration, end the concept of work visas (everyone can work), and open national borders to all. End the concept of illegal immigrant - all immigrants are legal. Turn denizenship to mostly a nominal thing.
*No torture, ever.
*The government is not allowed to take private stuff "for the greater good" without permission from all involved.
*For-choice (at least, in case of vital hazard to mother or child, mother is a loon, rape, deformed child, or the child will not be able to be economically taken care of).
*Mandate GMOs to be labelled as such.
*Install progressive income tax, where everyone is taxed at one rate, and end any tax-evasion loopholes, aside from moving headquarters.
*Legalise all drugs, free all those in gaol for drug offences, and tax it.
*Put foreign help spending as much as military spending.
*Install an one-payer basic healthcare system, but allowing paying for better treatment/medicines.
*Crack down on internet and medicine sellers. Internet is practically a monopoly, while medicine should definitely not be dealed with as a normal thing to buy. Perhaps illegalise all advertisements for medicine.
*Mandate vaccination for stoppable and contagious illnesses for all children.
*Put some checks in stead for buying guns, though not many. Tax guns.
