When the cost of an Epi pen prices life saving medication out of the market for so many people, I think they are better suited to address this issue than gun control.I would make the prediction that the reason why Doctors are being recruited is the long standing rule governing Doctor Patient confidentiality in which people will believe seemingly innocuous conversations will remain private when in reality they won’t.As far as I am concerned, this more about government control using a traditional and long trusted occupation as a way to expose information most people prefer to keep to themselves.

To a degree, yes. This was a concern back in the 1950s when civil rights advocates envisioned abolishing the filibuster to circumvent the South’s Senators. But Sen. Richard Russell (D-GA) threatened to engage the Senate in extended debate about every rule in the Standing Rules of the Senate, and that tabled civil rights legislation until Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-TX) organized passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.But there’s an easier way to enact filibuster reform without debate, and it’s the same way that former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) did it back in 2013. He sought a ruling from the chair on an interpretation of the Standing Rules of the Senate that would limit debate on nominations by ignoring the text of Rule XII. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) used the same action to limit debate on Supreme Court nominations in 2017, and if the Senate Democratic Caucus decides that the filibuster should go, that’s likely how they’d do it.

Because they can, and because it's a business.I managed a pizza place or three many years ago. We had a standing rule that any officer that stopped in on duty could get a slice of whatever we had on hand. If there was any on hand. This was also extended to the fire department and we let them know that as long as it wasn't abused it would keep going on. This worked well in that we tended to have the police swing by about every half hour and at closing on Friday and Saturday nights, our busiest times. Guess when pizza places get robbed? When I was running this policy, none of my 3 locations got hit. There was the other reason. It was good promotion. We started seeing a lot more orders for delivery from the police and fire departments in the city. Whenever there was a function, we'd get the order so I think we did well.As for why we didn't just hand out free food; well we're a business. You feed one homeless guy, then you find five waiting there the next day. We actually tried this for awhile. There was a guy we referred to as “mountain man” that came by sometimes. I would have a slice of whatever was the most recent send-back was. I was strict about not letting anyone know about this. One night another guy shows up. Not asking but demanding free pizza. When we turned him away after getting pushy with a female employee, he tried to throw a brick through our window. Mountain man didn't get any pizza after that.I hope that illustrates why we don't just give free food to homeless people.
