Budget Crime And Gun Control Case Study
The issues that I feel are the most important are Budget & Economy, Crime, and Gun Control. The views that Blake Farenthold has towards the budget and the economy are that he does not support an income tax increase on any tax bracket in order to balance the budget. He also does not support federal spending as a means of promoting economic and, he supports lowering taxing in order to stimulate economic growth. As far as crime goes he support mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug offenders

    It was just another Friday night at a barber shop in Columbia, S.C. Two men, armed and dangerous, rushed in guns flying, intending to rob the shop. One customer was not about to let it happen. He sat in the barber's chair, hands up until both suspects were not paying attention, when either took their eyes off him he reached for his concealed weapon and fired on the two. As they fled he managed to kill one and the other got away. Thus, none of the customers were injured. With gun violence at an all time high, the people of America are becoming aghast of weapons. Gun owners and their weapons should not be hassled with the thought of change in stricter gun laws.…

    The issue I took from her website is that of Transportation as it has the most effect upon me personally. On this one particular issue I believe she has done quite well. She introduced HB 2468, the Safe Streets Act to the 113th Congress and she has been a strong "advocate for a federal complete streets policy that would ensure our roadways are designed with all users in mind – including bicyclists and pedestrians, children, seniors, and the disabled." (Matsui, 2014). Her biggest failing is that she is beholding to her Democratic Party and she does not consider her entire constituency as a whole. The Democratic Party has considered this district Safe for four decades and it is unlikely to see any new blood enter the ring so to speak any time soon. Doris married into and then inherited the district from her husband and it is safe to say the district has her until death do us part as well. I never vote based on one issue and although I feel she represents this issue quite well, I am highly unlikely to ever vote for her.…

    An indepth project such as The Connecting the Branches on Gun Control, required a great amount of time and effort. As the project progressed I learn a lot, not only on the subject I was studying and reporting on, but also how to find a use useful information pertaining to the hot button topic of Gun Control in America. Firstly, I feel as though it is important to know that I went into this project with a fairly extensive amount of knowledge on the topic, and fairly well established beliefs pertaining to guns. While, I still completely believe in expanding legislation on gun control. To have a well-rounded project it was crucial to research all information, not just articles and reports that take a more liberal stance on the topic.…

    Currently there are no laws or regulations in place that require private sales, gun show sales or internet sales to perform a background check during a firearm purchase unlike federally licensed firearm dealers. This leaves a loophole open for criminals to purchase firearms leading to more gun violence such as mass shooting and robberies. Gun violence can be reduced by requiring background checks for all guns sales, expanding background checks to include mental health status, and better reporting by law enforcement agencies to maintain accurate information in the database.…

    There is a old saying that guns dont kill people, people kill people. This is a known saying that comes out all the time when this conversation pops up.The media portrays gun control in a positive light, they believe that this is something that would work; I believe that gun control will never work and giving people guns to protect themselves and taking guns from people the public judges or deems unfit is a terrible idea. It is unsafe, and also endangering people's lives and is unfair, plus it is going against the second amendment which many have died to protect.…

    Since 1982, at least sixty-two mass shootings have occurred, thirty-two of them since 2006. (Aronsen). Jared Loughner was sentenced to life in prison after shooting nineteen people in January of 2011. Last July, fifty-eight people were shot and twelve killed while watching the new Batman movie in a theater in Colorado. In December, twenty-six people were murdered, including twenty first-graders, in a Connecticut elementary school (Follman). The issue of gun violence only becomes relevant after a horrific event such as these, then fades from public concern after about two weeks. The number of injuries and murders using guns in the United States is a large number, which can hopefully be lowered by implementing statewide, or even nationwide gun buyback programs, stricter carrying permit laws, and making it harder for the mentally unstable and convicted felons to legally obtain guns.…
