First of all, laws only apply to law abiding citizens. This means that anyone who is morally okay with breaking laws, will still get a gun if they want. Making anything illegal, whether it be guns or drugs, means that the government is giving away any control that it has over said items. The government can't stop criminals from getting guns, whether they are illegal or not. Now, most of the shootings reported by the
Further, the American Revolution was a radical movement that changed the world in a way that shook it to its foundations by challenging the concept of aristocracy in the Western World that had existed for two thousand years and completely changed the political and social landscape in the United States and the world forever. Wood certainly supported the case that the Revolution changed how Americans felt that their social interactions ought to be carried out. Wood provided a great deal of research to indicate how the bonds of society would be reforged in the aftermath of the Revolution. The American Revolution changed the nature of American society in a very deep way. Old monarchical social bonds had not simply been destroyed; they had been replaced with new Republican bonds of “love and gratitude.” Before the Revolution, George Washington called the nation’s yeoman farmers “the grazing multitude,” expressing his
Enforcement of immigration laws will require additional measures beyond a border fence should restrict the illegal entry. Many of the stakeholders are poorly educated, unskilled workers. They fill the sort of jobs that most native-born Americans will not take, at least not for the same price. List possible competing values and goals that could be at play? Competing values and goals: The illegal immigrants view the United States as
“Illegal immigration is a major cause in the overcrowding of our schools and our prisons.” (Bender, David) Michael Huffington, a former member of the US House of Reps. For California says that, “Many illegal immigrants come for two purposes that are both destructive and expensive: to commit crimes or to receive government benefits.” (Huffington, 63) “For instance, the 18th Street gang in Southern California is one of the nation’s most violent street gangs with a staggering 20,000 members. More appalling is the fact that 60 percent of the 18the Street gang’s
They also have to get a search warrant to be allowed to search any of your property. If they search your car, your house, or any of your possessions without a search warrant and find anything illegal, they aren’t allowed to use that as evidence in a case against you. These regulations ensure that our police forces are there to assist us in keeping our country safe, but not to get in our way if we aren’t doing anything wrong. The government also controls our military.
The Untied States-Mexico border is the site of the large majority of illegal immigration. According to the Census, 90 percent of illegal immigration comes from Latin America, with 70 percent of the emigrating from Mexico . (How)Mexican immigrants have developed many ways of illegally crossing the
This angered Latino groups pushing him to make good on past promises to reduce deportations of immigrants living illegally in the country. Since Obama decided to abandon the immigration crisis, Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, decided to take this situation into his own matters. He believes that our borders should not be open and vulnerable to exploitation by ruthless criminals. He is focused on making sure drug cartels and other criminals don’t get a free pass into Texas and the rest of the nation because our borders are unsecured. Rick Perry then later decided to send 1,000 guardsmen to the border to assist the Texas Department of Public Safety’s “Operation Strong Safety”.
Mexico provides the United States with the largest supply of marijuana and is the second largest source for heroin. When the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon came to office and began to take on organized crime by arresting cartel leaders, was when the government and cartels began their battle. There is a war also between the five leading rival cartels for the production and smuggling of drugs. Violence has reached the point of beheading, murdering and hiding of dead bodies, and even the dissolving of human parts in acid. Kidnapping rates have also escaladed in Mexico to where an average of 70 people are abducted each month.
Government officials keep creating laws that tend to slow down the process of owning a handgun, but it doesn’t solve the issue that crime still exists in this country. In order to commit a crime, owning a handgun isn’t truly necessary; anyone can commit it with any blunt object. The issue regarding crime will never be resolved no matter how many laws the government throws at it. Banning handguns will be almost like banning
All they do is leave law abiding citizens completely defenseless against robberies burglaries and any random shooting of a mad man. Anti-gun supporters think that if they outlaw all guns that fire arms will just disappear, that there will be no more homicides, and everything will be peaceful. This is just not true, there is no law that the government could come up with to make guns nonexistent people will always own fire arms. The only difference is that if guns are outlawed the only people that will own them will be criminals. How will stricter gun laws bring an end to criminals having guns, when the already existing laws against murder have not been able to stop them from killing innocent people?
