Too many people take themselves and things they see and read on the interweb too seriously. I must now get back to bottling my new and improved troll repellent.

Which of course shows up why gun control laws don't work.

The USA has 90 firearms per 100 people, the highest ratio in the world. Laws that are not enforced don't work, but that doesn't stop Congress from making more laws.

Heck works well with Immigration (G&D&R). Studies show that those areas with the most Draconian personal gun laws also have the highest rates of gun-related violence. Of course, no one has yet answered my questions about the other relationship, which is that they tend to be big cities. More target-rich environments that many areas in Utah, Colorado, etc.

Does Switzerland still require every able bodied man to be trained in gun use? I heard gun ownership is high there too, which would certainly explain why it is a very low-crime country. I dont know, just asking, maybe somebody from there is reading.

I don't know all the laws in this country but it seems to me that Cities that have laws making it illegal even to own the weapon of any kind has most killing and largest crime and as I said I don't know all the laws and rules but it sure don't make any sense to me

Correlation doesn't imply causation.
Maybe the fact that every male is militarily trained leads to both reduced crime and increased gun ownership. Maybe reduced crime is due to higher employment, population demographics, cultural bias, or something else entirely.

That's what happens when there ought to be law types get in charge. The damned socialists have taken over England and are starting here with their traffic cameras, in the name of safety. It's all bull sh--. It's about the money.

The House grows according to population;seems proper. you want to cut government size,get rid of gov't programs that gov't is
*not supposed to be doing*,like Social Security,Welfare,various other social programs.THAT is where the gov't sticks its nose into people's business.what about states like Texas and California that are big and populous enough for TWO states? Split 'em up?
What we need is TERM LIMITs,so that Congresscritters don't spend their entire working lives there. That's when they start thinking they are "elites",different and better than the rest of us. They don't have to follow the laws like the rest of us do. They lose touch with reality,too.
The job was never meant to be a lifelong career.

Compare Washington,DC's crime with the nearby Virginia cities,where guns ARE allowed.If easy access to guns were the problem,then Virginia's crime would be far higher than DC's,but it's the opposite.
Criminals prefer unarmed victims.

You know, I don't even mind the 'safety net' of welfare. I do mind when the safety net becomes a hammock though.
I see 40% of the population that will blindly vote for anyone that will promise them free stuff, and that number is growing fast.
Left as it is I don.t see any hope for change. It's going to take a series of 9/11's or WWIII to get the USA out of this socialist spiral, which, of course, is not how I would like to see the change come about.

The only constitutional rule relating to the size of the House says "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand."
Congress regularly increased the size of the House after the census to account for growth but fixed the size of the House at 435 seats in 1911.
While theoretically could revoke/revise that law, since then all that has been done is to reapportion seats based on relative populations after the official census.
