Nothing that can make anyone happy

I think that there are probably two types of compromise: one of them compromises over a single issue; the other takes two or more unrelated issues and gives each side something as a win. The first one finds some sort of common ground. Let's not talk about that.

So, the other one might be our salvation. But I've been wrong before.

Dear reader, let's talk about gun control, illegal immigration, and a national ID card. But let's make it a short conversation as I've been too long winded recently.

There is no reason to change any gun control law today. There are already a bunch that we don't fund sufficiently to enforce, so the law does no good. The same is true with immigration. It's already illegal to be in this country without documentation, but we don't enforce it. Actually, our federal or state governments cannot enforce it. It's impossible to get 100% compliance with any "thou shalt not" law. So what do we do? Give up, of course.

No no. No giving up this time. Let's trade instead.

To the Left: You liberal shits want more big government and stuff, right? So we'll go the first step. Everything must be registered, but everything remains legal. And you need to give back something. Something related to immigration would be best.

To the Right: Look douches… You can't just block every single control on firearms when our leaders, our girlfriends, and our children are gunned down seemingly nonstop. (Did anyone get all three references???) You need to allow something, so let's start with a national registry. But while we're at it, we'll make that registry binding for all Americans whether they have a gun or not, via a national ID system.

So one ID system could be a big reform for gun control and immigration. Really, let's go ahead and roll the passport system and the IRS into this and shrink the overall bureaucracy while we're at it.  Maybe we'd be able to afford to enforce the laws we pass this way...
Anyone? Anyone?
