Most would agree that self defense against assault against your person is a right everyone should have. I think we should have a subsidy for poor people to have the most efficient way of defending themselves against asailants. Especially women who are at a evolutionary disadvantage.
Therefore I propose that every citizen receives a gun from the US government. If it's a right, i suppose the american people should pay for it, just like healthcare and welfare. It should be easy enough to pay for a program by simply implementing a federal sales tax of 4%. Everyone 18 years old or older in america under the poverty line will receive a tax rebate to allow them to purchase a gun of up to $500, 4 boxes of appropriate ammunition and 8 hours of range time to practice. Think of how much we would save in the long run if everyone could protect themselves.
Please think of the children. If you're against this you probably think that all women WANT to be raped and that poor people deserve to get beaten senseless because they can't defend themselves. If we are to progress as a society we need to pitch in and look out for eachother. It's for the greater good. Why are only the wealthy allowed to defend themselves because of the high price of firearms? It's not fair to those who weren't born into economic means.
