A Right to Bear Arms Opinion - 0 views

  •  
    The controversy with the right to bear arms starts with the goverment. Only a goverment who is affraid of its citizens trys to control them. Gun control is not about the guns, its about taking control. When you remove the right to bear arms, we can not defend ourselves from senseless crimes.

Supreme Court: Arizona Law Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Register to Vote Is Uncons... - 1 views

  •  
    The article shows that the Supreme Court overruled the law that people need to proof that they are citizen when they want to vote. There are so many people lost there proof of citizenship by many reasons, and the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 states that citizen just need only one form to prove that they are citizen and they can easily vote
  •  
    For states that border Mexico--like Arizona, of course--I believe that proof of citizenship is required simply to prevent illegal aliens from voting. The number of Mexican citizens who were allowed to vote outweighs the amount of actual citizens who lost their ability to prove nationality.
  •  
    Anywhere people go they should have to show proof of citizenship. If there is illegal immigrants in Arizona Im sure they are in other states as well. I know if I was illegal I would get very far away from the border as possible. I think our citizenship laws should get stricter.

Lawmakers in Ten States Have Proposed Legislation Criminalizing Peaceful Protest - 3 views

  •  
    The right to protest has been a major point of freedom for the US. It's a fundamental right written in the constitution. Now lawmakers are trying to take away that freedom by making it illegal to protest.

    I hope more citizens read this article and understand its implications. The core of our rights are being challenged. Without our citizens ability to organize and speak out against policies the our legislators enact we are heading into a direction of totalitarianism. We the people hold the power. Vote.
  •  
    The real problem is the groups that are vandalizing and rioting, and then claiming it is their right. Because of these people, these states are trying to do something that should never even be a thought. Basic human rights shall never be taken by Americans as long as we don't allow it. @albertskarsten you are absolutely right " We the people hold the power"
  •  
    The right to peaceful protest should never be taken from the American people. I do not condone the violence and rioting that occurs, and laws pertaining to that are pertinent, but not peaceful protest. So many things have been accomplished because of these types of protests in our history. As a woman I would not be participating in this class if it weren't for the people brave enough to protest for equality. It is a travesty that government officials, who should know and understand the rights given to the us in the Constitution, would bring about legislation to override said rights.

Details on State Prayer in Public School Laws - FindLaw - 2 views

  •  
    Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

    A constitutional right of all citizens is the freedom of religion, and praying in schools is a way of exercising that right. If praying is banned in public education, then the constitutional right to practice religion is being infringed upon.
  •  
    While religious freedoms are very important in our country we need to look at what the purpose of school is. In my opinion, schools are not morally obligated but factually obligated. This article states that you must look at the religious aspect to understand history which I completely agree. I do not remember my classes removing religious aspects from the curriculum. Is this prevalent nowadays?
  •  
    I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.
  •  
    America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.

Gun Laws - 0 views

  •  
    Everyone should have a right to protect themselves. Making guns illegal wont solve the issue. Either way, criminals will still find a way to get a hold of them.
  •  
    This link agrees with the right to bear arms. They support equal rights for gun owners. The purpose of this link is to prove that not everyone will be effected by making guns illegal. The law abiding citizens become defenseless and the criminals will take as they please knowing the people are pretty much defenseless.

What the Arpaio pardon means for civil rights - High Country News - 3 views

  •  
    This article goes over the recent pardon of Arpaio and how it risks future racial profiling and violation of rights for citizens. Arpaio demonstrated harsh practices like keeping inmates outside in scorching summers, and working in chain gangs. He has already been in contempt of court for racial profiling and violating citizens' Fourth Amendment rights.
  •  
    I'm not sure this Arpaio pardon will encourage others to racial profile for immigration purposes. Arpaio was the lead candidate for this kind of behavior and I'm not sure others are rushing to follow his footsteps .

US: Immigrant Injustice | Human Rights Watch - 0 views

  •  
    Immigrants are not getting the justice they deserve due to the lack of legal documentation. US citizens take advantage of immigrants by not paying them for jobs or by stealing the illegal's property and threaten to call immigration if they say anything.
  •  
    I like the article that you picked, I think immigration is a strong topic to do re-search on. I'm re-searching more for illegal immigration, a lot of people complain about the immigrants but once they leave no one wants to pick up their jobs for as little as the illegals worked for. I've learned that the Arizona economy took a hit for this, but also a lot more jobs became available for citizens.

NRA 2nd Amendmnet rights - 1 views

  •  
    The National rifle association fights for the right of American citizen to bare arms. It helps to find policies and legislations as well as news pertaining to the second amendment
  •  
    This doesn't lead to an article. The nra is perfectly fine with guns even if it leads to a large number of mass shootings. It get to the debate of is it a personal freedom to be able to kill another person.
  •  
    I didn't find a specific article on 2nd amendment rights. Just the web page for the largest gun lobby in America.

Arizonans react to Trump's Immigration ban - 2 views

  •  
    This article describes President Trumps ban on immigration. It describes that President Trump put a temporary ban on seven Muslim countries. Not only are Muslims not allowed to enter the U.S. but U.S. citizens are not allowed to re-enter the United states from those 7 Muslim countries.

    I posted a similar article that went into depth about a certain airport. I can't believe that it also banned U.S. citizens from re-entering as well. It really is mind blowing.
  •  
    This article is another one about the Immigration issue we are facing. Since he put this temporary ban, there are people who are here legally in this country trying to travel, but then get detained at the airport just because of where they are coming from. This is not okay. I find this infuriating.
  •  
    This whole scenario is mind-blowing and shows what kind of person he is. How can he sit there and deny U.S CITIZENS re-entry to their country?! Makes me sick how intolerant some people still are. I think about the world my daughters will have to grow up in and it scares me.
  •  
    Not trying to be rude or anything but Trump is obviously not try to have people actually like him as the new president. To ban people who have green cards from re-enrtering the U.S is very wrong.

Protecting The Freedom To Vote Against Wrongful Challenges And Intimidation | Demos - 0 views

  •  
    Protecting the freedom to vote for all eligible Americans is of fundamental importance in a democracy founded upon the consent of the governed. Clearly boundaries for poll watchers are often crossed. These challenges lead to stricter rules that need to be followed by honest, law abiding citizens that just make it harder to vote.

Expanding Citizenship: Immigrants and the Vote - 1 views

  •  
    A touchy subject but one that has been increasingly more important in the United States, should illegal immigrants be able to vote? The research shows that that their votes play a major role in poles. I think that it's important for people to vote and have a say, but should everyone who comes into the U.S. be allowed to have such a say if not a citizen? Would Americans have that same right in their home country?
  •  
    I am an immigrant myself, i migrated here legally, i pay my taxes, receive no tax breaks even while i make little money, i do not have the ability to vote, and i have done the process through and through, without breaking the law. So i ask, why if i can't vote, should someone who has dodged taxes, came here illegally, and broken the laws of this generous country, have the ability to vote where i cannot?

FBI: Nearly 5X More Murders Committed With Knives Than Assault Rifles ยป Alex ... - 0 views

  •  
    Over the past 8 years, there have been obvious assaults at United States citizens second amendment right to bear arms. Guns, especially assault rifles, have received an awful lot of scrutiny for people shooting one another, however in reality shootings with assault rifles account for only 2% of homicides in the United States. Meanwhile the rifles themselves are being blamed for the unstable people wielding them. Meanwhile knives account for nearly 14% of homicides, however no one is attempting to ban knives, as it is general knowledge that they are tools, just like guns. But the media is making every attempt to make guns the villains, not the wielders.
  •  
    This subject has been plaguing our country for years now, and it's proven that most violent crimes don't happen with guns. Especially assault rifles, people aren't just carting around carrying around rifles everywhere committing crimes. They use what's small and readily available. Such as, knives, bats, handguns, or even just using their fist to get what they want.
