Do you believe the War on Drugs disproportionately impacted poor and minorities? Do you believe that more POC are criminalized, jailed, and lives ruined because of drug laws?
Me too. That is why I oppose HR 127 that was pushed forward by Democrats in congress. What is HR 127?
HR 127 is a gun law that would force owners to license guns like cars. They would have to pay $800 per year per license for 5 years. If they don't, $75,000 fine and/or 15 years in prison.
So let me get this straight. We have been whittling away at the drug laws in an attempt to not oppress poor and minorities. But now we want to hold them down even further by enacting this law. I'm sorry, but this is racist.
Why should POC, minorities, and poor not be allowed to freely defend themselves?
Ok, here is a bit of critical thinking. Some may say that this bill is so outrageous that it will never pass. You're right. It won't. So why present it? What is the goal? The goal is to pass a law that is less outrageous, but still infringing on your rights. A consolation if you will.
Now you may be asking, why is education part of this topic?
Simple. Why should POC, minorities, and poor not be allowed to freely choose the school that best suits their kids?
It's time to realize that no matter who is in charge, the government today is about oppression. It's about control. They don't want POC, minorities, and poor armed. They don't want POC, minorities, and poor educated. That takes the power away from the government.
I've had this question for a long time. I know the USA is printing money like crazy. But also, countries around the world are doing the same thing with their currencies. So isn't it a wash? Why does it matter?

As the fog of war billows, we see truths and carnage that make little logical sense. This is not a story by Stan Lee. There are evil men on both sides. There are innocents on both sides.
The puppet masters have what they want. You’re afraid. You’re angry. You hate. And eventually you’ll suffer. They will reap the reward of your enslavement.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Remove yourself from the machine. Take back your life. Make no mistake, though. It won’t be easy. They need you fat, dumb, and happy. They will do whatever it takes to stop you.
Start slow and covertly. Unsubscribe from the media and tech they use to control your emotions. Verify their claims on reality. Assume the narrative is false until proven true. Unplug.
Find your community. Build trust in the service of others. Act locally.
Remove the yolk of fiat. This above all else. The masters main tool to control you is the bit and bridal of a corrupt money. Money that only they control. ...
