Law abiding citizens are being demonized for owning firearms. It's public info.

I'm sorry if I come off as mean, I surely don't want to look like a bad guy.

I'm here to help.

You are right, they shouldn;t list gun owners either. Although, I'm surprised that gun owner have a problem with it. They are the ones that say criminal would be less likely to steal, etc if they thought the other person had a gun. Well, now they have a database to show them which houses to hit and which to avoid.

Given the mo' guns logic, wouldn't the answer to welfare be more welfare?

So I guess you think either the 12 million or so unemployed don't really want to work, or that there's millions of job openings that aren't being filled because no one wants the job?

Not 12 million, but yes, I think there are a lot of folks not making the effort. Dinkins-Giuliani. You can either rationalize or take a job you think is "beneath you." Extending unemployment was a mistake. They should also shut down the gov't when the time comes. As I said - I see plenty of job openings. Maybe, not enough. But, it would be amazing if you cut the baby from the teat what would happen.

It's a mistake to draw conclusions based on what you "see". When there's a job opening in my office, there's over 200 qualified applicants. The job scene varies depending on the region.

But I see what you're getting at: Obama's done such a good job creating jobs, that unemployment and public assistance needs to be cut so those people will go out and fill those jobs.

When you say shut down the government, what do you mean exactly?

That being said - Hurricane Sandy was a tragedy. Newtown was a tragedy. Having to pick yourself up off the mat while terrible is not a tragedy. It's what you make of it. Can you TURN it into a tragedy? I guess so. But, Welfare is a safety net meant to help people get back on their feet (at least that was the initial intent). That is not a tragedy. If anything, it could be seen as a triumph. What it's turned into by individuals is up to them for a majority (again, of course, not ALL). But, I find it hard to say Welfare is a tragedy.

I see Help Wanteds all the time around me while folks collect 3 years of unemployment. It does make me scratch my head.

This is all semantics. To people who want to work and can't - and that is the majority NOT the minority - unemployment is def. a *personal* tragedy...

Good to know, and should regulation and law come in that says you need to, and you persist in abstaining, that would make you a law breaker, or as some of you like to say, a bad guy. And if I have understood your previous posts correctly, your all for them having their weapons stripped away, and their rights too I might add.

Good question. Bit of a non-sequitor - this was alluding to the debt ceiling talks. They need to go into (partial) shutdown (it's not really a shutdown, as essential services and the debt still get funded) to have real debate on what needs to be done and make some hard decisions.
