    - Gun control

    They're already controlled by law.

    I think the point is to strengthen the law, not just make a law.

    - Regulate big corporations

    They are already regulated.

    C'mon, you can't be serious. Big corps basically run things, their regulatory oversight is like a paper mache pair of handcuffs, heh.

    - Women's reproductive rights

    The USSC already liberated women from federal control of reproductive rights

    That's an... interesting take. What they liberated women from was the ability to decide what they want to do with their bodies. USSC limited their rights, not helped them. It liberated the rights of the fetus more than women. I do not support abortion, but I also realize that my moral imperatives should not be pushed onto others.

    I'm not sure precisely what Bjorn meant by "regulate big corporations," but the kind of regulations that conservatives need are different from the kind of regulations that liberals want. You're right that big corps run things, but I don't believe that this will ever change.

    It's my understanding that federal control of abortion is a thing of the past, and that now abortions can be regulated by states. I don't understand how that hurts anybody.
