Gun Nation ~ America's Love Affair with Firearms

The USA (for all of its contradictions, faults, hypocrisies, sins, etc) is a federal constitutional republic with a written Constitution that guarantees (not grants) the basic human rights that its people were born with (including the right of self defense).the 2nd amendment is there for when the government becomes corrupt that the people are protected against such tyranny that is happening currently.

2.5 million times per year in the U.S. someone defends their life, their families life or property using a firearm. 99.9% of the time no one is killed. Compare that to 33,000 firearm deaths only about 11,000 being homocides. Are you suggesting that we put 2.5 million Americans at risk to save 11,000 lives?

Prisons for Profit in America

Private Prisons = Giant Money Making Machine, Locking people up

Prison was originally supposed to have 2 main purposes: To "hold" people in confinement for breaking the law and to REHABILITATE offenders to become productive members of society. Obviously the second half of that was eliminated a few decades ago because some greedy "businessmen" saw an opportunity to cash in. So instead of focusing on the underlying problems behind the crimes, it became "well, how much can we make off these criminals?" American greed will be the death of this nation. This is the largest problem facing America today. These slave-drivers have taken more of our personal freedoms than Al-Quaeda ever could. The Prison-Industrial Complex encompasses everything from police brutality on the streets to free labor and overcrowding behind bars. Just keep focusing on stupid wedge issues like abortion and gay marriage while ignoring massive human rights violations. It could easily be you filling 1 of these beds, especially if you're brown to black in skin tone.
