What about the people who are sub 100 IQ (namely about half the population) who don't really have the capacity to work in a highly trained job? You seem to just assume if we give people free stuff they will all go get PHD's. That&

Just so you know, if you want a gun here it's not rocket science. Go to a gun club, watch a fire guns being fired, go do a test and buy a safe. Congrats, you can now buy rifles and shotguns. There was a recent case of a father who was
