And once again no reason is given for handing out a bunch of guns and paramilitary training. However, in the spirit of having a serious discussion, I think it would be a good idea for the federal government to give grants to the states to provide jobs in a volunteer community service organization to chronically unemployed young people, training them not in gun use, but useful things like CPR, basic 1st aid, some basic carpentry, and have them organized to report and do useful things in the aftermath of a natural disaster. That will give them something useful to do and some work experience, and provide some stimulus to the economy, because they’ll spend the money they earn.
