“I'm a gun rights advocate in Texas. This bill is a travesty as it does not apply equally to regular citizens as it does lawmakers. Congress needs to repeal all of sections 921-931 of Title 18, Chapter 44, USC. Stop playing these games! The 2nd Amendment says "the right of the people to keep and bear…”

“Social security needs to be dissolved and done away with. Keep the benefits for those currently receiving them and those close to retirement.

All of their rights, including their 2nd Amendment rights, should be fully restored. The same goes for everyone, regardless of the crime. Once released and p…”

“The 14th Amendment was put in place to grant citizenship to former slaves, but the lack of foresight to jam through the amendment has had unintended consequences. Now, women crossing the border illegally who are 9 months pregnant do so because their child will automatically become a citizen. It shou…”

“This is self explanatory, even for all of the environmental and global warming people (of which I am not). While I certainly support exploring alternative energy sources, despite how all of them are nowhere near as efficient as internal combustion, using fossil fuels is, at the present time, the mos…”

“Article II § 2.2 states that the President "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur."
