Ok, I’ve got it!  Everyone’s gonna love this!  We slash military spending to practically nothing.  Then we take the money we save and buy all private citizens a bunch of guns.

My progressive friends don’t have to worry about going to wars, because we won’t have a military.

My conservative friends won’t have to worry about a tyrannical government, because the citizens’ militia will be… well everybody.

I’ll get some new toys.

And everyone – except the people in whatever part of the world where human rights atrocities will continue to occur because we won’t be getting involved – will be happy and drink sweet beverages from McDonalds and enjoy the delicious subsidized corn syrup that has made our country great!

… Did I mention you get a free gun?
