Our lax laws controlling ownership and possession of guns and ammunition has resulted in the highest number of homicides and accidents with guns among highly industrialized countries.

I know many low income people who, if their social security payments are lowered, will fall into poverty,

My husband and I are retired. I got sick with a chronic illness, and we lost everything to my medical expenses. My husband is 70 and still has to work part-time as a plumber to pay for my expensive medicine even though I have Medicare and Part D. We are not on SSI, and we struggle to get by. We cannot endure a cut to our meager Social Security.

Cuts or reductions in Social Security benefits or benefit cost of living increases will have a negative effect on my ability to pay the rising costs of food, gas, and about everything else.

Cutting the income of Social Security beneficiaries and increasing the cost of medical services to the same beneficiaries puts our most vunerable citizens at risk. I have been affected because I now have to live with one of my adult children instead of living on my own. How can you justify cutting taxes for people who are in the top 2% income when your poorest are barely surviving?

Since its original passage in 1994, VAWA has dramatically enhanced our nation’s response to violence against women. More victims report domestic violence to the police and the rate of non-fatal intimate partner violence against women has decreased by 53%. The sexual assault services program in VAWA helps rape crisis centers keep their doors open to provide the frontline response to victims of rape. VAWA provides for a coordinated community approach, improving collaboration between law enforcement and victim services providers to better meet the needs of victims. These comprehensive and cost-effective programs not only save lives, they also save money. In fact, VAWA saved nearly $12.6 billion in net averted social costs in just its first six years.

Presently, Payroll contributions to Social Security is capped at 110k income annually.This makes no sense. All income levels should contribute, with a percentage of these additional funds earmaked for Medicare and Medicaid.

The 2nd Amendment equates possession and carry of a mere manufactured object, a piece of property, to rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Even real estate is more easily and highly regulated than guns in America. The existence of this amendment forces the living to accept the judgement of the long dead regarding firearms in society and strips us of the right to decided what is right for today's realities. Mere regulation of firearms is not enough to reign in this scurge that is litterally killing us as the courts have ruled against and political cowardice hinders all attempts at gun control. Repeal would not mean no guns just reasonable rules for private ownership. The 2nd Amendment is zombie law of the living dead and has no place in a modern, civilized society.
