Drinking & Driving - 0 views

  •  
    This article was full of statistics proving that no one should get behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming alcohol. There are laws that are trying to be passed to mark the vehicle in some way or revoke your license. We all know that the punishment come gradually but could it change these mind blowing statistics if we put the revoking law in effect for a first time offender? We are talking about the lives of innocent people. Very interesting. it gives me something to consider.

    In an attempt to preserve all that they believe is great about a free and just America, Arizona has opened US culture to two words that previously were the exclusive province of Nazi Germany and the communist bloc: "Papers, please."
  •  
    This is crazy its about how the copscan arrest you on the spot if you can't prove your citizenship status. Further more it states that if you buy a gun made in Arizona you don't have to register it.
  •  
    The weapon of choose becomes their Constitution right to bear arms. Perhaps that prospect will make police a little more concerned about who they round up on the streets. We doubt it. Weapon's instructors in Arizona feel cheated by the state's law makers as they are killing their business.
  •  
    It is wrong to be stopped by patrol just because you don't seem to look like you're from the US. As for the weapons not having to be licensed also defeats the purpose. I think anyone who owns a concealed weapon should be trained on how to use it, and with that you have to own a license.
  •  
    I defiantly disagree with both of these laws. I don't think it is right that a cop can pull someone over just to make sure they are legal. I also think in order to be allowed to handle a gun people should go through safety classes.
  •  
    I think there should be a little more added to both these laws. If you want to search someone regardless of race, gender, religion or whatever you should need probable cause. Also I think if you are going to handle any type of weapon you should have some background with weapons handling; maybe off free weapons safety classes at public ranges?

    The nation's accident statistics on elderly drivers is almost as high or as high, depending on the age, as teenage drivers. Some states require more thorough driving tests to determine if an elderly person is capable of driving. The fear of having their "independence" taken from them is the biggest fear among the senior population when dealing with stricter restrictions for obtaining a driver's license.

Connecticut's gun law linked to large homicide drop - CNN.com - 0 views

  •  
    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.
