    Guns. Just restrict them, it’s not that hard

    The “winner takes all” political system that ends with two extremist parties and a huge divide between people

    Healthcare. Do I need to say anything?

    The extreme divide between rich and poor

    Police force. They hire lowly educated people, preferably racist, receiving barely any training, and what they do get is mostly nonsense. They then get military equipment, and the entire system is protected by a corrupt union

    The amount that news organizations are allowed to lie

      Well it is hard from a “cat out of the bag” reason.

      To be clear I agree, there’s way to many guns around and the best time to plant a tree is before today, but today is better than tomorrow. So let’s start.

      But there’s millions of absolutely unknown guns here and banning them would create a black market with no end in sight

        I didn’t say ban them, I said restrict them. Heavily. Tax them. Increase bullet prices. Kinda like that black comedian, forgot his name, said: make every bullet 5000 dollars. Im gonna save up, I’m going to get an extra job, imma get me a bank loan, and then you’re a dead man!

        It was funny, but I think there is a realistic point to it. Make it all most expensive and people will use it less, have it least, cause less casualties
