Nickles and dimes may be all you have left, although the actual metals have been removed and replaced with worthless ones. Even Pennies are copper colored but not copper. The Federal Reserve was meant to cycle down to make the value of dollars worth nothing. When I was young, you could not GET a credit card. Now, they are handed down like candy. The gov't has us up to our eyeballs in debt. Look up the US debt clock. How can we pay it back? Guess. The Senate just passed another expensive bill on to the Prez to sign. It includes some anti gun segments which offer to PAY states to enforce ( because states still have rights which must be terminated. We must not allow anyone to be able to stand up to governmental authority even if it is anti Constitution. Let' bribe those who can be bribed.) If we wanted to protect children, why not pay to put metal detectors in schools RIGHT NOW instead of dinky dankin around, spedning the money on bribes. Why did the police in Texas who had fire power, body armour and shields not go in? They actually handcuffed a woman who finally went in to save her child. They prevented an off duty cop from going in to save his dying wife!!! Maybe they needed lots of dead children to push anti gun agenda that they need. Cuz "We will have nothing and be Happy."

I wouldn't rule out the idea that they are involved in driving unstable people to commit gun crimes. At the same time, I'm not sure who "they" are.
There are plenty of theys out there. More and more items come out about Texas that make me think standing down was to accomplish an agenda. The politicians behind gun control/ removal were the they I was thinking about. 'They' could have put out a bill, that no one would have fought, to actually protect school children, like they did in airports, if they actually were concerned with protecting children. Of course we don't want people to be killed, in general. But there are many ways to go about it. We had a guy drive through a Christmas parade here in Milwaukee area. The deadliest school mass killing happened a lonnnnng time ago in Michigan where a janitor set off explosives in a school basement. But as I said before, 'they' use the media to tell of shootings that fit their agenda which is to take away guns from law abiding citizens. Law breakers are not going to abide by new laws, of course. I have used Chicago as proof. There are more anti gun laws in Chicago and shootings happen EVERY DAY. This did not fit the agenda because it is black on black crime, despite excessive gun laws which are obviously not enforced, and the children who are shot by stray bullets, oh well... 'They' do not tell of news items where guns prevented injury or death, and there are many. You just have to dig.
I don't know about an agenda. but most small town cops probably have not fired their weapons in years, have grown pot bellies and are near retirement after only just handing out parking tickets their whole career. Complacency builds after awhile even when it came to 9/11.
To change and prevent all the bad things taking place today you need to start with our federal hired workers in the department of justice. Vet every one of them and let's see who are paid political hacks and give them the boot if they have contributed to this division in the justice system. Our FBI also needs to be shut down and a totally new department created to do what these crooked slugs were supposed to be doing. There will never ever be a safe America again until all these political hacks are removed. A pretty simple fix but these elected officials like congressman and women removed for in-sighting violence among party lines, it is the most egregious crime that they could commit. We have nothing but trash in the congress and maybe because it is too easy to run for office when foreign and outside money is allowed to help them destroy us from within. There is no mysteries as to the root of all our problems, it is time to stop electing the worst possible people one could vote for. The best example of that worst possible is this slug sitting in the oval office taking his nap daily. I watch and listen to some of his ramblings and I love it when he can just manage to get a word out of his nose he is so worn out and sick. It remains to be seen if those that voted for the idiot are still voting for another loser in November after all the cost and sacrifice he has caused.
The corruption and waste is everywhere and people vote for hair styles, clothes, skin color, sex...the least awful of candidates... The GAO can't get ahold of the waste. Too much red tape. The laws are too convoluted. The Congress made itself immune to the laws it passes long ago. Committees don't want to find the answer because then they would be out of a job. Everyone has a golden parachute. If we were a movie, collapse would be the only way out and when riots were in the streets nationwide, the powers that be could enforce martial law which is probably one of the plans. Look around to see how you can take care of yourself and others without gov't assistance.
