Part 12/17:
Mass shootings are classified as terrorist acts, with discussions centering on the ineffectiveness of banning specific weapon types like AR-15s, given that they cause a small percentage of gun deaths. Instead, focus should shift to better mental health care, threat assessment laws like the TAPS Act, and increased security measures like armed guards in schools.
Immigration and Border Security
The debate underscores the importance of enforcing existing laws and closing loopholes, such as the Flores settlement, which limits detention time for immigrant children. A smarter, merit-based immigration policy is advocated, emphasizing border security, strict vetting, and managing foreign aid to promote stability in sending countries.
