    When Michael Brown was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., last August, his death set off riots and violence - and posed deep questions about race relations in America. The Ferguson Commission, appointed by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, was tasked with finding some answers.

    I feel like Obama is actually trying to help us because America has done a lot of snooping and getting in other's business these past few years. The bombs in different cities are a huge problem and he's trying to resolve it, but not in war. America is trying to make peace with everyone, but we really can't when there's so much fighting and hate in the world.

    I agree with what president Obama said, I think that since the attack its finally opening his eyes and realizing that were in danger to snd they need to take action and do something about it.

    I think that Obama is taking very good steps in the fight against ISIS by showing the international community that we are willing to help and that we need the help of other countries to be able to defeat a force that affects everyone. I think he is doing the right thing with our defense against ISIS getting agents in our country with focusing the fight online and in our immigration process.

    I agree that Obama should at least act on the threat because of the attack. Its bring violence to his doors that he needs to act upon before its to late that terrorists are running up and down our streets. ( ZAC OLSON )

    I think that Obama is doing a good job to comfort the concerns of the U.S., and I also think why so many people think the government is doing nothing is because they have to keep some of it secret for our own safety and so ISIS does'nt known our plan.

    I believe President Obama has the right idea in taking on terrorists this way because he's not just having us as one country going after ISIS. He's having us as a group of countries go after this group that continues to terrorize for no other reason than for public awareness and publicity on their organization. He also has a good view about the "gun control" with automatic rifles, he is just saying that it's better to make sure that no one who isn't a professional can't use the weapon.

    In my opinion Obama should take action the way he plans to. How long before these plans come into action?

    The White House said Obama and Bloomberg "discussed ways to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have access to them and what more could be done at the state and local level to help address gun violence in America."‎ As leader of the nation's largest

    But on Tuesday, President Barack Obama -- frequently foiled by Congress on this issue -- decided to go it alone, unveiling a series of executive actions designed to help prevent gun violence. The President will make the case for his decision, and try to convince the public more steps are needed, during an hour-long town hall on CNN Thursday night.

    "He's not telling the truth," Cruz said flatly during an interview with CNN aboard his campaign bus. The GOP presidential front-runner here in Iowa, where he is in the middle of a six-day bus tour, argued that the President is focusing on the wrong problem when it comes to curbing gun violence.

    "President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 61 people who were serving time for drug offenses, the White House announced Wednesday, furthering his push to reform what he sees as overzealous sentencing laws."

    I like this because there are people who are committing more serious crimes like rape, etc. and people are wasting spaces in the jail because of their drug offenses that could of been minor and didn't involve violence or anything.

    Yeah, I thought that this was interesting. I read this at home. I'm just concerned that people will be using these for illegal reasons, though.
  • Brooke Wohlers on 31 Aug 18
     
    I thought that this article was very interesting in the fact that someone found a way to create guns using a 3-D printer. I do however think that this wasn't the best thing to do in today's day in age with all of the school shootings going on and the debate between that, and the fact that anyone can buy the blueprints for any price is a little on the scary side.
  • matthew954 on 31 Aug 18
     
    Yes I agree with"Brooke Wohlers" the whole 3-D printing guns is very scary with everything happening today. I believe it should not be allowed for many reasons of school shootings.
  • trehfeldt on 31 Aug 18
     
    The fact that now people can just 3-D print a gun just makes me feel that the gun-related violence will rise.
  • jstottlemyer on 31 Aug 18
     
    It was always a cool idea of someone making a 3-D printed gun (or 3-D printed anything), but now that it is a very realistic thing it is kind of alarming that anyone with with a 3-D printer can make one and not have a permit to carry especially if these 3-D printed guns can be as harmful as others. Cody Wilson, The founder of of Defense Distributed, said he would sell the the blueprints. That is easy access to anyone that has the money.

    You could really print anything with a 3d printer. It is scary the things you can do.

    "Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump tweeted: "Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!" I feel like they are just assuming that it is a terrorist when it could just of been a normal person.
  • maxaqramirez on 18 Sep 17
     
    True true. The definition of terrorist is, "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." This person may not have been pursuing political aims, they may have just been trying to cause a ruckus.
