Undecided
I say undecided because there are no GREAT monitoring laws put in place currently to make sure that there is NO ABUSE. I think that if we do not have very well thought out and instituted laws the right to use marijuana medically will be extremely abused.

11. How should Arkansas address our illegal immigrant population?
Christia Jones (Republican)
Arkansas’ illegal immigration population issue can be addressed and solved by allowing for provisions to be made for every illegal immigrant to return to the country of origin of the head of household at the time of the illegal entry. This one time financial investment would be much less than the money that is being spent, year after year, on the illegal immigrants through entitlements and various program monies that should be allotted to taxpaying citizens. These same people, then, should be given an opportunity to reenter Arkansas legally by meeting the proper requirements, just like all other people who are waiting in line in order to come through the proper legal channels.
12. How can Arkansas prevent mass shootings?
Christia Jones (Republican)
A SIMPLE WORKABLE ANSWER, centered around returning to “Basic Rules of Human Existent” IS, Absolutely Teach, “LOVE Your Neighbor.” With Continual Observation of actions that show obvious extreme hate not LOVE, an individual should be provided with a detailed brain scan “SPECT” to discover BRAIN problems. Arkansas should use state provisions for TREATMENT and CURE. However, to AVOID many brain issues, Arkansas should establish and enforce laws that: (1) monitor sales of violent movies, video games, etc. that teach young children how to hate, murder, and commit mass shootings; (2) let PARENTS monitor and discipline their OWN children; (3) eliminate laws that make PARENTS fearful that the government will take their children if they use discipline to KEEP THEM FROM ENDING UP as HATE FILLED MASS SHOOTERS.
Roger Lynch (Republican)
Teaching the value of life at home, in organizations, and in the media. Quit dramatizing these horrific acts.
