The dude is way better than Bush, and that's really good. You guys need to stop complaining about gun control, it's safer when people don't all have guns, look at all the countries that have harsher gun control laws. As for abortion, there are some conditions where it's better to have an abortion, no questions about it. Sure it's bad if people are just having them cause they're idiots and don't wrap their tool, but I'm pretty sure not many people support abortion in that aspect.
I disagree. Switzerland, yes peace loving neutral Switzerland, requires that all able bodied males 20-42 keep a handgun or rifle in their house. The Swiss have a drastically lower murder and armed violent crime rate while England, which has totally banned handguns all together has an incredibly high murder rate, four times the number of robberies and twice the number of rapes per year than Switzerland If you were planning on shooting up a school or murdering a family wouldn't you feel a little safer if there was a sign outside that said "gun free zone."
The key is discretion. Background checks, keeping guns out of people convicted of crimes before, psychiatric analysis.
99% of Americans aren't nut jobs who are intent on murder, rape or armed robbery. In the wrong hands guns are a terrible weapon. In the right they are for sport and self defense.
Let's focus on keeping them out of the wrong hands
Don't anyone flame me, just stating what I believe

torture wasn't one reason we went to war. We went to Afghanistan to break up al-Qaeda
We went to war in Irag because we thought we had evidence that there were WMD's. Now whether there actually were or whether Sadaam sent them up north to Syria the fact is we didn't find any.
However we overthrew a murderous regime, but I think we've overstayed our welcome there and need to pull out soon.
Coercive interrogation was used to stop an attack in New York on the anniversary of 9/11 now we shouldn't just go around torturing any suspected terrorist however the President and the President
ONLY should have the power to order coercive interrogation on a suspected terrorist.
Waterborting is not torture
