Joni Ernst introduced a bill that would sell off millions of dollars of the Internal Revenue Service's firearms to pay for the national debt.

    So it won’t “pay down” anything, it will just add a tiny drop in the bucket to one year’s interest.

    Agreed. But just like paying off personal debt, “any” is more than “none,” so I have no problems with it.

    I do have problems with both parties wasting money and getting us into debt in the first place, though.

      Like I said tho - cost/benefit analysis. Introducing what I assume is a huge number of confiscated guns into the population will create costs downstream, not just moar freedom.
