The "terrists" are waging war on the US - IN the US - on a daily basis. And yet, we have to field armies to foreign soil to try to find some of the baddies.

Free guns would level the playing field here - but what we really need is federal laws requiring us to carry. That way it wouldn't be taxpayer money that would provide the arms! We'd be forced to buy from US gun makers so's to create jobs locally.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, if we required everyone to pack a US-made gun, this would eventually take care of the joblessness. As production rose to meet the demand - and murders (stand your ground incidents if you prefer) eliminated more and more of our populace - there'd be a meeting point of declining demand for jobs and increased employment. A sort of "balancing out", if you will! Mitt! Oh MITT!!!! I have a theme for you to win with - or at least one that'll get your party in line behind you.
