- "Enforce that other countries pay more for our defense in support of the strategic alliance. We have a $800 billion dollar defense budget to manage and the way we have been doing business, we will end up bankrupt very quickly while other government spend less in their military due to us paying that price while others reaping the benefits. Ever wonder why all of these countries state they can provide free programs in their countries? It is because they don't pay in the defense since the United States is gracious enough to pay the bill. This cannot continue, every country will pay their fair share if we provide that defense. We need to get back to reduce our national debt and prevent bankruptcy." (erickforcongress.com)

- "We always hear the talk of increased or "comprehensive" or "universal" background checks. These already take place through the NICS. There is an existing database for firearms as well. This part is done during the purchase and transfer of the firearms and is tracked through the ATF database (AKA the ATF National Tracing Center) by way of the serial number on the firearm. I do not believe most lawmakers are aware of what the process is to even purchase a firearm. What those LAWMAKERS will not talk about is how to remove the ones either purchased ILLEGALLY or STOLEN."
