Ranchers Alarmed by Killing Near Border - 0 views

  • 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.

Legalizing Marijuana - 0 views

  •  
    The writer of this article is the executive director of Law Enforcement against Prohibition and he also on narcotics policing in Maryland, and he wants Marijuana legalized. And I have to say that I agree with him all the way on this. Alot of the time we do things because we know we aren't supposed to, and it makes it that much more exciting. So, in legalizing marijuana he believes that it will reduce the crime. Every year thousands of people are murdered over battling for drug turfs. In legalizing the drug, you would eliminate the middle man, and all the danger that comes with that. Instead, you could buy it in the store or a specialty shop like you would tobacco. I say lets get this ball rollin'!

Personal freedom begins with gun rights - 0 views

  •  
    This article expresses the frustration on gun law policy and how it should not be messed with. It states getting rid of on of the amendments might be the start of getting rid of them all.
  •  
    Of all the issues being debated in today's marketplace of opinion, one issue remains inviolate - the belief that everyone is free from bodily harm. Whether it takes the form of being beaten, murdered, raped or unfairly searched is irrelevant - any attack, no matter how placid, on a person's own body is, by definition, immoral.

    This article touches on the debate of assisted suicide. Some people are pro, believing that once one has lost their quality of life they should be able to make the decision to end their own(with assistance, since, for whatever reason, they are unable to commit suicide on their own). Other people are against assisted suicide, believing there are situations where it would go against personal moral codes of doctors or nurses, or that the person pleading to die may change his/her mind and it will be too late.

Gun Control Explained - 0 views

  •  
    Anybody with a record has a very hard time getting a gun. Law enforcers agree more on the right to bear arms rather than having our guns taken away. Taking them away does in fact take away our second amendment. Half of all suicides are from guns as well as 70% of all murders.

Gun Control and Gun Rights | The Latest News on Gun Control - US News - 0 views

  •  
    This web article talks about issues regarding the second amendment of the US constitution, the right to bear arms. The author talks about how the gun debate has become a hot button topic of argument in the political elections. This makes sense with the growing rate of gun related murders in the past few years. It also references a recent lift on gun bans in Chicago, IL.

Recently there have been two court cases to reach the highest court in the US, one of which was considered to be a landmark case. However, neither case established what laws could be put in place without infringing upon our second amendment rights.
