Let's Talk About Gun Responsibility
Gun ownership is a responsibility - not just a right. If you don't understand this, you should turn in your guns. #p2
— Sadistic Statist (@TheXclass) December 17, 2012
Shouldn't be a point of political contention, it should be a national responsibility to take appropriate measures to prevent gun violence.
— Philip Obenschain (@pobenschain) December 21, 2012
Part of the prob with the the 'everyone should own a gun' mantra is that it assumes owning one isn't a tremendous responsibility.

Every time there's guns in our schools, a tragedy quickly follows.We need more responsibility - in our gun laws AND our parents.

Let's Talk About Wages
The issue of Thriving Wages for Workers is going to be the most important topic we can talk about in the years ahead. It is the common denominator of so many of our nation's woes, from the dwindling Social Security pot; families on Social Survival programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and Welfare; our unnecessary reliance on credit; and even the collapse of the nuclear family. Here are some people who are reminding us to keep this topic front and center; let's follow their lead:
How about the MSM discuss poverty, education, climate control, wages, inequality, Banks.Not Gen. Petraeus BS.
