    In 1995, a permit-to-purchase handgun law went into effect in Connecticut, stating that people who want to buy a gun must apply for a license (or permit) with the local police, a process that involves a background check, as well as complete at least eight hours of gun safety training. Since this law, homicide has seen a reduction in that area but there is still more that needs to be done.

    This article is very good for looking at a specific case of a state using voter ID laws to discriminate certain members of their community. The article is also very helpful because it briefly goes over the Voter Rights Act. This act was put in place so that voter laws could not discriminate against certain types of people.

    Different states throughout the U.S. don't quite have a grasp on the definition of "rape." Certain actions on victims are being called minor sexual assaults and it doesn't seem to most of the U.S. that rape is taken seriously.

    The famous reality TV show 'Sister Wives' is using their show to not only educate America about their religious lifestyle, but to help fight to let it be legal once again. Polygamy was outlawed in the 1890s, but it is still practiced today by many Mormon families. The religious practice has to be carefully done in secret for the fear of being convicted. The author states that Mormons just want to freely practice their faith and be left alone about it without legal consequences.

    I watched the first season of Sister Wives on Netflix, and, without voicing my personal opinions on the subject, I was really surprised that people are still practicing polygamy.

Ranchers Alarmed by Killing Near Border - 0 views

shared by Elizabeth Brzezinski on 05 Jun 12 - Cached
  • Robert N. Krentz Jr., 58, the scion of one of the best-known and oldest ranching families here in southeast Arizona, was found shot to death March 27 on his vast, remote ranch north of here after radioing to his brother that he was aiding someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant. Mr. Krentz went missing shortly after that call, and the police found his body several hours later in his all-terrain vehicle, his guns untouched in the back, his dog shot and critically wounded. Fresh footprints led from the scene to the Mexican border 20 miles away. Given Mr. Krentz’s radio transmission, the footprints and heavy drug and illegal immigrant trafficking in that area, investigators are working on the assumption that he encountered a smuggler, possibly heading back to Mexico.

    This NY Times article looks into the murder of Robert Krentz, the Arizona farmer, who was shot to death in Cochise County. Clues led to the possibility that it may have been an illegal alien who shot and killed Mr. Krentz. This event occurred during the heated debate as to whether Arizona's new immigration law, requiring documentation of legal status in the United States, should go into effect.

    In the last 10 years, it has become more acceptable and easier to adopt if you're a single man or openly gay or lesbian. Before attitudes began changing, though, that group of citizens were generally only able to adopt if they hid their sexual identity. While there are still a couple of states where it's illegal for gays or lesbians to adopt, including Florida and Virginia, most state laws now reflect the shift in social attitude and recognize an equal ability to provide a good home regardless of sexual orientation.

Issues of Personal Freedom Raised by Vibrators, Marijuana, and Guns - 0 views

    This topic just caught my attention because it sounds silly to me that there's actually a law against vibrators. Vibrators are not only meant for sexual reasons, but also for medical reasons, as stated in the article. A good argument was made on how it is ironic that guns are legal, yet a vibrator isn't legal in the state of Alabama;. Also, it raises a good question on what people are charged with if they possess a vibrator while passing through the state.

    This is a great article about the blatant civil liberties of the US constitution being ignored by the people we are suppose to be trusting the most, the police. If there were ever a time to sit back and take a look at what the cost of personal freedom for our national security is it would be now.

    Personal freedoms taken away in other states. Sometimes a nuesence, sometimes a really good idea. The boundaries are different no matter where you go.
