The government’s negligence has only made the crime rate in America skyrocket. If the government took the time to realize their mistake in creating a system which only promotes more violence and second time offenders, maybe the crime rates would lessen. This failure of the prison system has attracted the attention of the criminals of America. They see how other criminals seem to get away with robbery and assault and other offenses, with merely a “slap on the wrist” so to speak. They don’t truly pay for their crimes when they are released from jail without being taught their lesson and what is their incentive to not commit these crimes again a second or third or fourth time?
Gun Control “Opponents to gun control laws argue ‘guns don’t kill people, people kill people”’(ProQuest Staff). Gun Violence is a major problem in the United States today considering the current gun control regulations are ineffective; however, laws can be made to accommodate for this and still allow the citizens to protect themselves from danger. “The role of guns in violence, and what should be done, are subjects of intense debate in the United States and elsewhere” (Webster). The people who have either seen, heard, or read news stories on gun policies might have come to the conclusion that mass shootings, the mentally ill, and assault weapons are the primary concerns in the debates; gun control laws disarm law-abiding citizens and fail
Americans will save a lot of money from taxes, the prison population would decrease, and the government would realize how harsh and unfair their sentencing system is. Americans would much rather old drug dealers who want to improve and change their lives back on the streets rather than having a murder or a rapist back on the streets. If the drug dealers really want to change their lives and start a new life then they should be able to get out of prison. Most of the inmates have already served more than enough time then they actually deserve. Americans need to start sticking up for what’s right in their country and should stop being bullied by the government.
Gun Control Gun Control is a very controversial topic in the U.S.A., partly due to the Sandy Hook school shooting. Many people look to increase gun control in order to make this country safer. People believe that if guns are made illegal, then people won't be able to shoot others in public. This is simply not the case. First of all, laws only apply to law abiding citizens.
Desmond LeSure Professor Bolton ENGL 1020 19 April 2012 “Is the Three-Strikes Law fair and ethical?” There are individuals who were known as habitual criminals who constantly repeated the cycle of committing a crime, getting arrested, and eventually getting released. In 1993, Americans noticed that this was very costly to the public because the process of arresting and trying these criminals was expensive. American tax payers were beginning to become concerned with this issue and wanted something to be done about habitual offenders. Society is pushing the issue that it was more logical to keep repeat criminals in jail and not release them to commit more crimes. Politicians listened to society and executed a law that would put an end to
A bad conduct discharge is similar, except that it does not necessarily involve a criminal offense. The reason law enforcement agencies won’t accept dishonorable discharges is, as with criminal convictions, two-fold. First, federal law forbids anyone who has received a dishonorable discharge from the military to possess firearms. That would be a problem. Second, many law enforcement agencies are staffed by military veterans and are, in fact, organized along paramilitary lines.
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." (James Earl Jones, Online). Banning all or some weapons is not the solution to decreasing the increased gun related violence in the United States.
Now imagine an army of criminals with assault rifles versus a police force with no weapons at all. This nation will fall into anarchy over night. Anyways the government can never take away our guns, its just not cost effective, and a majority of people would find a way to hide them
That I believe has totally gotten out of hand, and it’s not just his case but many more of police brutality that hasn’t really been mention in the media. I just don’t believe that the police pick on African American people, because if you actually research it Caucasian people have also been a victim of police brutality; but since that doesn’t catch people’s eyes it doesn’t make it on the news. The police department needs to hold their officer more accountable for their actions and not sweep it under the rug. How are we supposed to feel safe if we can’t put trust in our
Since colleges have no mechanism to enforce gun-free zones, these killers had a government guarantee that their victims would be unarmed and defenseless. According to the FBI, crime on campus is rising; Worse yet, experts tell us campus crime is underreported. Colleges can't keep criminals from being armed because criminals never ask permission. But rather than considering that criminals fear armed victims more than signs, colleges peddle imaginary problems as an excuse not to implement real solutions. Now with legislators in 12 states considering "campus carry" legislation, critics are baselessly insisting campus violence will escalate.
