Yeah, but we have freedom and Jesus and guns. Lots and lots of guns.

Define “freedom”

We can buy guns at 18 and beer at 21

Guns.

I wonder what the breakdown would be if you surveyed, say, 10,000 Americans and asked “you can choose unrestricted access for all to guns, or unrestricted access for all to medicine.”

The answers to commonly asked questions would be provided: if you chose #2 NOBODY would have guns, criminals included. If you chose #1 NOBODY would receive medicine for free, veterans, elderly, and welfare recipients included.

I mean, right off the bat there’s the logistical problem of “how do we handle the suddenly unchecked wildlife population?” but I’m going to wager that it’d be about 65% medicine, 35% guns.
