    Obama on gun control
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    We don't need more gun control the original laws are fine.
  •  
    Enough with Gun control we don't need it.
  •  
    It's an American right for citizens to have guns.
  •  
    I'm not sure how I feel. We should be allowed rto have a gun, liscences are pretty smart
  •  
    gun control won't help anyone honestly. i don't see why he's trying to ban guns so hard. criminals are just gonna stop shooting people because of gun control? A+ thinking.
  •  
    gun control is not gonna keep illegal guns of the streets.
  •  
    Gangsters and Hoodlums will still use guns to kill, shoot, rob people i really don't think its going to help.
  •  
    After reading the article, I don't think these two rules were meant to stop a lot of gun crimes. On the issue of gun violence, I would say that we still need tight regulations of guns. I am less concerned with new gun control laws, and more interested to know how our society can keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and the mentally ill.

U.S. threatens peace in South China Sea, Beijing says - CNNPolitics.com - 4 views

  •  
    The message was delivered after the U.S. military on Wednesday undertook a reconnaissance flight on which a CNN crew flew. "The recent surveillance activity by a U.S. plane posed potential threats to China's islands and reefs, making it highly possible to lead to misjudgment, which could cause maritime or air accidents," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei, according to a report on state-run CNTV.

Shocked Jordanians rally behind king, against ISIS after video of pilot's killing - 9 views

  •  
    The shocking images of a Jordanian Air Force pilot being burned alive in an outdoor cage by ISIS terrorists have galvanized the country, once seen as possible fertile recruitment ground for the group, behind King Abdullah II's calls for a stepped-up military campaign.
  •  
    I think that Jordan is doing the right thing because what ISIS did was very inhumane and they deserve to be fought back. They can't just go around burning people alive just to give a message.
  •  
    ISIS burning a pilot and video taping it is very inhumane and they deserve to be punished for their actions. Jordan is doing the right and uniting as a country to avenge one of their own. Jordanians standing behind their King and their military is good for their country and good for taking down ISIS.

Dozens of casualties as military training center in Libya's Zliten attacked: witnesses - 2 views

  •  
    A military training center in the Libyan town of Zliten was hit by a truck bomb on Thursday, causing dozens of casualties, witnesses said. They said the casualties included civilians, some of whom were taken to hospital in the nearby city of Misrata.
  •  
    It's so tragic, it's crazy to think people would want to do this to others, especially to those who are trying to help protect your life. I couldn't imagine being a witness to this.

Russia claims it can wipe out US Navy with single 'electronic bomb' - 15 views

  •  
    Russia has claimed it can disable the entire US Navy in one fell swoop using powerful electronic signal jamming. A news report from the country - where the media is essentially controlled by the state - said the technology could render planes, ships and missiles useless.
  • ...7 more comments...
  •  
    Russia is threatening the US with statements saying that they could destroy our navy and air force by jamming all of the signals. In my opinion Trump should take action to make sure that they don't do that because then America would be vulnerable. I'm not saying that we should attack but we should focus on defense right now.
  •  
    If so, why don't the Russians do it? And now that Russia apparently claimed what they can do, can America compete with this and maybe use the same technology on the Russians?
  •  
    How credible is this information? If it is credible what is the Government doing about the threat?
  •  
    Because Russia says they are capable of doing this. There is a possiblity of them expressing it over dramatically. If you look at the technology comparison, the United states is much farther ahead. You don't think we can do the same back at them? We probably can. Just get an EMP.
  •  
    You cant jam an M16 with an electric bomb.
  •  
    I was also reading from a few different sources that an ex-Russian official has suggested that Russia military has the ability to use underwater nukes to detonate a "tsunami bomb" off our coasts. This claim has been officially denied by the Putin govt, but interesting to consider weapons like this. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/01/russia-can-launch-tsunami-against-us-nuclear-bombs-buried-ocean/
  •  
    I'm not quite sure why we're so worried about alleged claims created by Russia. Not only that but the U.S. military as well as U.S. technology like Daniel said is much more advanced. If we really want to know if these allegations are true find out. Otherwise you stay living in fear over whether something is true or not. Take their threat and do something about it if it's a threat that's that high in severity.
  •  
    I wonder if Donald Trump has done anything about this, or is planning to. Russia threatening us with this is very serious and I have a feeling Trump is not doing much. Could Russia really disable all planes and missiles through an electronic signal?
  •  
    Is the government going to do anything about this issue? Or should the people have to worry about a near future war ahead?

Military veterans scorn Trump for calling fallen soldiers 'losers,' as described in the... - 0 views

  •  
    I think this is not a valid news source because it never directly quotes nor shows evidence of trump calling fallen soldiers "losers" or "suckers" but it does in fact show him denying these statements this shows no reliability on this news source because they never backed up their statement of saying trump called soldiers losers

    (Not really political but an interesting subject, Plus, what if it started in the military)(CNN) -- Video producer's note: You've heard of 3-D printing, the process of using a specialized printer to create real-world objects from computer models. Now there's something new on the horizon that could revolutionize this burgeoning technology: 4-D printing. At TED 2013, senior fellow Skylar Tibbits sat down with CNN Ideas to further explain this mysterious fourth dimension in printing technology.
