Former President Obama just summed up the Gun debate in under a minute:
"I think somehow — and there are a lot of historical reasons for this — gun ownership in this country became an ideological issue, and a partisan issue, in ways that it shouldn't be. It has become sort of a proxy for arguments about our culture wars, you know? Urban versus rural. Race is always an element in these issues. Issues of class and education, and so forth.
Instead of just taking a very practical approach, like we do, let's say, for example, with car safety, where we say, 'All right, we got a bunch of accidents. Let's have seat belts. And let's make cars safer. And let's engineer our roads so that we prevent them. Instead of thinking about it in a very pragmatic way, we end up really arguing about identity, and emotion, and all kinds of stuff that does not have to do with keeping our children safe."
I'd love to hear both sides of the political spectrum weigh in on this clip.
Think about this.
The average billionaire on the Forbes 400 list could spend $10,000 every single day for 274 years and still have billions of dollars left in the bank.
Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, these guys should be paying more in income tax than a teacher?
@thehowie@benshapiro Doing good things doesn’t excuse the bad things I think is the point folks are trying to make. It’s like painting a house and doing a shit job, then painting over that shit job & doing an okay job. There’s a cost for the shit job previously done. In this case a can of paint.
@Councilman_JRan Travis Hunter has now had the opportunity to play for one of the most legendary icons in American Football, but is his life completely redirected? Cmon now, the kid can transfer schools too and more than likely will be better prepared to advance his career having been with Prime.
