Over *4 times* as many children & teens have died from Gun Violence in America since 1963, than the total number of US Soldiers killed in action during Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, & Iraq wars COMBINED.

Max DeYoung

You are comparing 65,000 deaths, mostly inner city gang killings, to 62,000,000 innocent children murdered in abortion clinics.

Max DeYoung

And that does not include more than 62 million babies that have been killed by abortion in the United States since Roe vs. Wade. Roe vs Wade was not enacted until January 22, 1973. 62 million, is more than21 times the lives lost by US Soldiers in all of the United States Wars combined.

Guns aren't the problem it's the evil behind the gun... inflation should not even be in the same paragraph. It is disgusting. No baby formula, gas prices are draining us, everything is expensive...

Max DeYoung

Inflation and failed economies will always increase criminal activities, including gun violence.

Debra Riffle

You can't regulate free will. People make choices for good or evil. Inflation is something that the government can affect. Fuel prices affect every aspect of our economy. We need to be energy independent to do that. We need to open the pipeline and get busy drilling.

Mark Cunningham

Everyone is affected by inflation. Every business is affected by inflation. Inflation directly affects me more than gun violence.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
