If fact, there are verses in the Bible that are pro-gun (in a general sense) and pro-self-defense.
Jesus Christ told his followers to sell their extra cloak and buy a sword.
Many people, especially those unfamiliar with the Gospels, don't know this.
"They also pay taxes. So why shouldn't they get the same benefits?"
Do they?
Not all Green Card holders work and pay taxes.
Some do but not all.
A family will; from my experience, what NGOs tell me, & what I read; have one worker but a few/several consumers of Taxpayer Monies. Public housing is partially at Taxpayer expense.
Public education is at Taxpayer expense.
Public jail stays are at Taxpayer expense.
Public "Free" meals are at Taxpayer expense.
Public medical care & medicines are at (either partially or in whole) Taxpayer expense.
Too bad you haven't lived long enough to understand where ALL the money comes from!
Unfortunately, your plan has a flaw. Political campaigns do not query the Do Not Call list. Since campaigns are not covered by the Do Not Call law, why would they?
Businesses, on the other hand, are required to query the Do Not Call list. If they don't query the list or ignore the Do Not Call list, they have broken the Do Not Call Law.
It would be good if you understood just how the Do Not Call law has Always worked.
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have promised this for years.
Only Trump and the Republicans are complaining about the loss of jobs for Americans.
This is what I read and hear in the News Media.
The implication that I understood was: RUN your own Mail Server and Domain.
Don't use Google, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, etc.
If you are in control, you will be notified (and the Feds probably won't notice that they sent the paperwork to the target).
US Courts have ruled that LEOs can require/force one to use their fingerprint to unlock a phone.

My 2014 has methods of changing the ECM in the owner's manual. Not all of them but being a computer geek, they are easy to figure out and to reset. Boo on you!
You work for John Deere, right?
Or GM?
Or Ford?
Or Sony?
Or some other manufacturer?
Life is one uncontainable RISK.
Buying and using a manufacturer's manual is proof of intent to provide a risk-free installation–that's the best the manufacturer & rep can do. You are covered legally because of your proven intent.
And, you are assuming facts not in evidence. Remember there was a time when there was NO chiming on seltbelts. Plus, in my state, it is the responsibility of the passenger to use the provided seltbelt--lack of a beep is ignorance of the law.
Gosh, it must be hard to be so young and so unrelated?
Google is your friend.
$6 for an cabin air filter is common. Major online car parts have them. Major online places have sales, loss-leaders, freebies, etc.
I can buy them for Free with "Amazon Points"-type purchases.
Personally, I used the higher-rated (HEPA?) filters and they are less than half the price than the dealer sells them.
My first brother-in-law was in a car accident. Because he was NOT wearing his seat belt at the time, he was thrown about the cabinet but walked away from the accident. The driver seat and area was destroyed and, had he worn his seltbelt, he would have been killed in the accident. One news story, when seat belt were coming into cars, stated that in 98% of the crashes, a worn seltbelt will save a life but in 2% of the crashes, a worn seltbelt will kill a life. People get to choose--even if it is illegal. (Now, in the case of my first brother-in-law, a worn seltbelt might have saved his spouse and children a whole lot of pain.)
From my experience and observation,
Generation X-ers work Harder than Millennials.
Millennials will settle for less.
Maybe that focus, or dysfunction, or desire, or "self-esteem", or health, or greed, or something else.
With All the Governments piling on, will VW be able to survive?
One of the biggest auto companies failing?
Is VW "too big to fail"? (It's bigger than GM was at the time of its failure.)
100Ks of employees (VW, dealers, suppliers, etc.) out of work?
This is a really big catastrophe in the making.
BTW, I would be interested in one of the originally coded diesel engines with higher mpg than the "test code"/EPA dehanced diesel engines that are coming.
I'll bet there are plenty of people who want one.
So, you want every home (remember every home is a potential airbnb place) inspected by the Governments?
Your friends come to spend the weekend. You want the Governments to come and Tax you for "Lost Revenue"?
Your family comes, a foreign exchange student comes, a refugee comes, a co-worker comes, a visitor of any kind comes.
How do you prove that You aren't an airbnb-er.
Do you want to pay Taxes to have a guest?
The Governments just love this idea – inspect every home, tax every home for every visitor, make the home owner, home renter pay, Pay, PAY!
That's the ticket!
I saw the following on a car's bumper after LBJ's "War on Poverty" was starting to fail.
Support the War on Poverty
Shoot a Poor Person
LBJ's welfare/nanny state created enemies out of poor people. That is, the problem was misidentified as the "poor people" instead of the Do-Gooders who wanted to feel good about themselves while not actually helping the situation. The car that had this bumper sticker was, at best, driven by a lower middle class person.
In 1969, the cheapest Mercedes-Benz was $13K. (It was a diesel). Today the cheapest MB is $30K. The cheapest diesel saloon is much higher (if you can buy in the USA). Prices are higher.
The Federal Government requires front airbags and the added $2K to the cost of a car. The Feds have added lots of $$$ to the actual cost of any automobile by creating and enforcing their safety regulations. Making cars higher, demanding higher mpg, making engines more complex (high control, fuel control, etc.), and other Federal Government requirements DO increase the price of each car.
The MB Smart Car costs about $10K more in the USA than in Europe because of USA Federal Government regulations. And the USA version is also feature-crippled when compared to the European version. (Though the USA Smart Car will top out at 90 mph.)
nrasch asked, 'Also, do people really send emails from their corporate account with the words, "I loathe this job"?"
Yes, yes, they do.
Never underestimate that familiarity can lead to contempt.
Or in this case, forgetting that nothing is private on company email.
How funny!
A youngster deems to know about oldsters.
Most people over 40 work more than 40 hours per week. Top that off with child-work, house-word (of all sorts), help-friends-work, volunteer-work, car-work, etc., etc.
Our senior sysadm joined the company at age 52 and worked 45 hours a week consistently and the 36-hour yearly outage until he left for a more lucrative position. Older workers, being more experienced, seem to troubleshoot quicker and/or better from what I read and experience.
The problem with stereotyping is that one day your stereotype will catch up with you.
The glory of young men is their strength;
The glory of old men is their gray hair (assuming they have any).
Youth and strength is one thing; Maturity, experience and (possible) wisdom is quite another.
Interestingly, you are wrong on every point.
While living in Memphis, I learned that a Green Light means "Go"; a Yellow Light means "Go Faster"; and a Red Light means "Go Really Fast".
Also, right hand turns can be made from the Left Turn Lane, and
left hand turns can be made from the Right Turn Lane.
I have noticed this Rule of the Road in other metro areas – even the LEOs follow the above rules.
Oh, really?
This will cause a resurgence of Camcorders (albeit, smaller, easily disguised and ultra portable).
Any digital camera can record video (for a limited number of minutes according to the BestBuy camera guy).
Some dash cams can be turned around, carried, etc., etc.
Think "old school" and you will be able to do this easily.
Even the Great John Lennon told a friend that his song, "Imagine", was just a song – or in crude-speak, "BullShit".
Don't forget that GJL also sang that "Happiness is a warm Gun; Bang, Bang, Shot, Shot".
So you have FJL contradicting himself (a life long passion and practice of his, btw).
Then, when you really get it just the way you like, Google stops the updates.
Wow! Google just shoot Chromebooks in the foot.
5 Year life for Chromebooks.
The original ACER 11.6" came with an actual hard disk drive which could be replaced.
The HDD permitted a side-loading of a Linux distro and choosing at boot time whether to run ChromeOS or Linux.
It was a really neat tool/toy and I knew EEs who used the ACERs for running Linux on a light platform.
The original ACER memory could also be upgraded.
So some had HDDs and some had SSDs.
Yes, there are people, like me, who will pay for a high-end tablet.
But people like me are a minority.
People clobbered by their economic situation don't have "extra" money to spend on high-end tablets.
They spend what they can afford and have to budget their money.
I purchased an original iPad on the first day but most people bought Amazon Fire tablets from what I have seen locally.
Most people who stretch to buy an iPad keep them for longer periods of time or wait until they can afford a used iPad.
(I gather this from Craigslist, etc. postings. There is still a market for the first iPad because the price point for used has reached the general populace.)
