t federal, wide-sweeping "solutions" to every issue you take up.
don't even ask about federal changes. stop before you even start down that road.
Decentralize, defund the federal govt down to it's job of protecting the real rights of citizens not solving every "problem" you read about.
want to fix your education problem? Do it in your town.
want to fix your healthcare funding issue? do it in your town.
let the other towns fix their problem.
Stop thinking federally.
"America’s gun policy debate is usually driven by high-profile mass shootings that seem to strike at random, and it focuses on sweeping federal gun control or mental health policies. But much of America’s gun homicide problem happens in a relatively small number of predictable places, often driven by predictable groups of high-risk people, and its burden is anything but random.
The concentration of gun homicides in certain census tracts mirrors what criminologists have discovered when they look at crime patterns within individual cities: roughly 1.5% of street segments in cities see about 25% of crime incidents, a trend dubbed “the law of crime concentration”."
