That doesn’t mean pay off TOTAL national debt. It’s like you selling your motorcycles to pay off debt. Doesn’t have to mean all of it, just paying it down.
Fair point. Let’s take a slightly deeper look.
The annual interest on the US national debt is approaching $1 TRILLION. Any number starting with “M” amounts less than a tenth of one percent of that. So it won’t “pay down” anything, it will just add a tiny drop in the bucket to one year’s interest. I haven’t done any math to estimate the problems resulting from putting a shitload more guns into circulation, but my guess it they would cost more than the benefits. But that’s like, just my opinion, man.
Like I said tho - cost/benefit analysis. Introducing what I assume is a huge number of confiscated guns into the population will create costs downstream, not just moar freedom.

Agreed. But just like paying off personal debt, “any” is more than “none,” so I have no problems with it.
I do have problems with both parties wasting money and getting us into debt in the first place, though.
