    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.

    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.
  • baddison758 on 07 Jan 16
     
    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 believe that the government is correct because they have already paid for the land, therefore it's theirs. Even though it was more than likely an accident I think that the sentencing should be brought down.

    I think that preserving wildlife is important, but not at the expense of the ranchers and farmers who were forced to sell their land. It doesn't matter how much money they were paid; now that they lost their source of income, once the money's gone, it's gone. And they'd have to get a new job in an occupation that requires a vastly different skill set. I'd be upset if my land was forced away from me so the government could undo all my hard work and make it into a wildlife preserve.
  • mhenningsen on 06 Jan 16
     
    While I find that the wild life is important, it was originally the farmer's land and they have the right to not sell their land. I could see where the government could find that the farmers were burning the land because they were angry, however, them burning it for poaching is a little far. It was both a son and father and they were marking where their property ended and the reserve started, this is very logical and I don't really understand where the government couldn't see that it got a little out of control. Fires can be unpredictable and are usually hard to control.

    "It depends on the requests that come, it depends on the need and it depends on the willingness of countries to provide the support necessary," Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said. "The decisions will be made by individual countries in terms of what to contribute, and when to contribute it, and in what form and shape they would like to make that contribution."

    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.
  • rwilson761 on 07 Dec 15
     
    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.
  • baddison758 on 07 Dec 15
     
    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.
  • haveltherock on 08 Dec 15
     
    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 )
  • molson922 on 08 Dec 15
     
    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.
  • trocha340 on 08 Dec 15
     
    i think obama should act on the threat
  • ross_fisher on 08 Dec 15
     
    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.
  • nwailes919 on 17 Dec 15

    Tuesday is the last day to choose a health plan under the Affordable Care Act if you want insurance coverage to begin by Jan. 1. And officials who have spent the last two years using the carrot of persuasion to get people to buy insurance through the state or federal exchanges say the time has come for the stick.
