Will Obama's gun moves face a legal challenge? - CNNPolitics.com - 8 views

  •  
    Obama is announcing "executive orders" which have the same power as a law, but there are many Republicans who believed that the President should not be able to take actions in this way without getting a law passed through Congress. What do you think?
  •  
    I believe that this might be a good safety measure but it takes our freedoms further away.
  •  
    This is a step in the right direction for proper gun regulation but I believe that the president of the United States shouldn't be able to enact this as a law without congress because if he can that is too much power for one person.

    I feel that if Obama really had all these emotions and is wanting these "shooting sprees" in America to stop, there needs to be something done about it. I understand that we have the right to bare arms, and not everyone will follow the laws made to make things more safe, but implimenting things in schools like metal detectors, or by having it required that parents kept guns locked up would help more with this situation.
  •  
    I agree with you but its like if he feels or thinks about these shooting you would think that he would want it to and that he needs to do something about it instead of not doing anything.
  •  
    i agree. Obama had and has a lot of feeling about this subject. we need to do something about it

  •  
    Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, who's not letting up against Clinton. Clinton has tried to move left to counter Sanders's strength on some issues, with mixed success.

  •  
    In other words, some influential Senate Democrats want Obama to choose a nominee who Republicans would ordinarily support but are only opposing now because it's an election year. This, they believe, would allow them to paint the GOP as intransigent and well outside of the mainstream, undermining the Senate GOP's election-year argument that they are committed to governing in a bipartisan manner.

    I guess planet earth is blue... and there's nothing left to do... Farewell Major Tom.
  •  
    David Bowie was an icon, not only to people but to the genre of pop itself. "Bowie died two days after the release of 'Blackstar', his 29th album, which had been timed to coincide with his birthday. The singer had kept a low profile in recent years after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s, and it had not been widely known that he was struggling with cancer."
  •  
    This makes me so sad hearing that one of the famous musicians passes away from cancer. He was such a good singer and actor! You would think that doctors would have found a cure for cancer by now because now my great aunt is going though it. RIP David Bowie!!
