Seriously, how does Glenn Beck have a career in entertainment and you don't? You could totally go toe-to-toe with him. There really is no justice in this world. I would watch the sh*t out of your show, Dell.

It has to do with prioritization. We are bombarded with how dangerous guns are and why we need to outlaw, register, tax, insure, complete with endless lawsuits, all for something that you have a 1 in 340 chance of dying from.
Meanwhile, why we address cancer with crazy taxes we ignore obesity, the greatest cause of heart disease and the 1 in 7 odds of dying from it, not to mention the added costs of heart disease and diabetes especially among the poor, who are 100% covered by the taxpayer. Actually the taxpayer's credit. Michelle Obama calling for people to move just doesn't cut it. A $1,000 dollar obesity tax would do, will do far more than say, outlawing assault rifles. It's all about the bottom line.
