Because going into debt for a broken leg is a-ok.
If they didn't want to do that, better suck up to the insurance corporations, who will always look out for the consumer and never in a million years fuck over them in the name of more profits.

Having a broken leg is a bigger problem then getting more ammo.

Also broken leg treatments cost more than a box of ammo, so it would be extremely unlikely to go into major debt over ammo.

And if you did in fact understand it, do you care to actually address it? Or are we just going to make non-sequiter posts?

Not to those with an ammo problem and no broken legs.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Not sure how to address a non problem.

Oh no, the government is helping the sick feel better, why aren't they giving me free guns and ammo?

Having no ammo: "oh no I can't go to the shooting range or go hunting, guess I will have to post pone those two activities until I get more money to get ammo"

Having a broken leg: "I can't walk and am in extreme pain"

The free guns and ammo are for using equine medicine techniques, silly.

I didn't say other people's opinions weren't important, I said yours weren't. I'm sure you're capable of forming opinions worth something if you tried hard enough.

I care about both.

Personally, as long as you are sane (eg: not planning on shooting up a place) you can have all the guns you want.

However, universal healthcare of mind and body comes first and both should be considered human rights.

Guns to defend your property and yourself, healthcare to heal the population and get insane people better to the point where they are fully recovered. Then they can be trusted with a gun.

Because if we are on this train of logic, we might as well give the populus free arms as well as free healthcare.

Asylum is a human right even in the US since the US is signatory to treaties. You had a valid point there and notice how no-one is arguing against it.

But no, you couldn't resist baiting them with guns too. And look what happened. :roll:


Hey, if it would give people the mental health care they need to be stable and happy enough to not go around shooting people, giving free guns to people would no longer need to be a problem.

Now we would need for the US to undergo massive social changes to spot, administer aid and, get mentally unstable people the help they need.
