    We've gone way far to the left, it won't be long until this issue is very relevant

    With Phones, why do you need a watch? I haven't worn a watch since my 20's.

    The problem in a nutshell, how do we monitor if crazy Joe quits taking his meds?

    Never used a watch. Everywhere I went, had a clock. In a car, office, house. Never could get use to them.

    But with me, everyday is Saturday, the only day thats different is Sundays, thats when the big paper comes.

    Dude, 20%! That ain't going nowhere near a Constitutional amendment.

    Public support for those measures is sky-high! Public support for a gun ban is practically nil. People are getting weary of all of these mass killings by lunatics. Some things are going to have to be done and it won't affect most of us at all.

    It is an irrational fear. We cannot let irrational fears keep us from enacting some common-sense measures.

    High technology, I don't know. We figure out a fucking way. Maybe give them a blood test meter that emails in the results every week or every day, or something like that. If they stop sending it or show negative meds, then we send out the white jackets to collect them.

    It's too easy. Someone has set this up already and I'm going to find out if they are on NASDAQ . . .

    I smell profits.

    that is exactly my point... over time 20 becomes 30 becomes 40 becomes 50.1.

    I work in europe a lot, and discuss this with my associates there. they can not understand why we allow guns to begin with. that attitude is coming to America. fear of loss of 2nd is not irrational, it's legitimate maybe not now but that 20% is going to grow and 30 years from now maybe it's just enough to set the tone of the discussion.
    I do agree we must control these lunatics, if for no other reason, than they will force the banning of weapons faster.
