Resources and knowledge, yes. Morality, no. Moral rules are rational rules. Earn your way. Get married before having children. Be kind and generous to others. There are many other rational, moral rules that society as a whole has abandoned. I challenge you to find a single good, strong male main character in any movie produced in the last 30 years. Men, the natural leaders in essentially all societies (including the U.S.), are portrayed in the media as fools, rapists, pedophiles, murderers, weaklings, or stoic killing automatons. Women in the media act as though casual sex is the path to prosperity and happiness, when a quick look at reality shows exactly the opposite. The clear message from the media is "take and take."

No, they will make a permanent registry -- catalog guns of those to submit -- then viciously prosecute those found not to have submitted. Records exist going back decades as to who owns what guns. Many people will fall in line to protect themselves and their families. I might well submit, for that reason, as I make 4 times as much as my wife, and she and my 3 kids need that money to survive -- particularly in these times. Guns will be widely available, just more expensive. Argentina is a recent example of where we're headed.

I'm not so sure about that. Our military forces have been training for some time to confront and defeat "domestic terrorists," which seems to mean anyone who disagrees with the government and is willing to speak openly about it. Remember many lawmakers referring to aging Tea Party activists as extremists and terrorists? Military personnel, by and large, do what they are told. Examples of this abound throughout history (Germany, Russisa, China, etc.) For those of you who would all me anti-military, that is simply untrue; I'm a proud 6-year veteran of the U.S. Navy. I'm afraid that many in the military would follow orders to engage their own people. History suggests this to be true.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with judicial review. Without it, there would be no protection from unconstitutional laws of Congress. The problem is that the Founders did not see the courts as an equally powerful branch of government -- and therefore created no "checks and balances" for the judicial branch. Lifetime appointment + no check = Abuse of government power. In retrospect, I'd have allowed for a 2/3 vote of Congress to override the Supreme Court -- or 2/3 of state legislatures. Also, I'd keep appointment as the way to select judges, but impose an 8-year single-term lifetime limit for federal judges. Water down the power of all the branches.

Ok, agitator, try this fact check. What happened after Turkey disarmed the Armenians? They were nearly wiped from the face of the earth. What happened after Hitler disarmed the Jews? About 6 million of them were rounded up and exterminated. What happened when Pol Pot disarmed his citizens? He killed about 1/3 of them (about 1.5 million). What happened when Russia disarmed its people? The Russian government killed over 20 million of its citizens. Mao Zedong's disarmed Chinese citizens? 70 million exterminated -- during peacetime. Blacks in the Old South here in America were not permitted to own guns -- relegated to slavery. Perhaps you've noticed the pattern. If you have not, then there's no hope for you.

No, not "nothing," but don't do something foolish in the name of doing "something." The truth is, there is no way to stop evil people or lunatics from killing lots of people. In the absence of his mother's guns, he could have used fire, an 18-wheeler, homemade explosives, or many, many other means to accomplish his horrific plan. It is far easier to destroy than to create or protect. We could, perhaps, reintroduce morality as a prime concept in our country. There is a coldness and hostility between people now that was absent in my childhood. Moral rules are rational -- and foster a sense of humanity that we have lost.

Flesh-and-blood shooting galleries. When was the last time one of these shooters opened fire in a shooting range -- or anywhere else where people would have guns. The Batman shooter went to the ONLY theater in his area that specifically forbade the concealed carry of firearms. Who believes this was an accident? Anyone?

If giving people government money led to their prosperity, the Mississippi Delta would be the most prosperous place on earth. About 70% of money flowing into that region comes from individual and corporate welfare (farm subsidies).

Uh, a bill won't work. Presidential term limits are in the Constitution, put there by a terrified American people who finally realized that FDR was a dictator who used the power of the Presidency to fortify his political position.

Sorry, just reread the article. Those receiving a salary for providing government services are included. However, they are only a small fraction of the "takers," who consist mostly of those receiving money from the government without providing any benefit.
