Right To Bear Arms Case Study

678 Words3 Pages

Questions for all candidates:
1. With the increase pressure to look at the right to bear arms what changes would you make, if any?
Well I strongly believe in the constitution, especially in the 2nd Amendment, “I will match my record against anyone else when it comes to support and defense of the Second Amendment” (Statement made at a NRA convention in Nashville, on April 10, 2015). I would not during my presidency put forward any gun control measures. There are over three hundred million civilian firearms in the United States. Further restrictions on legal sales of firearms will not take the ones already out there out of the hands of criminals. I may, however consider implementing a national concealed carry law similar to the state one I implemented in Florida; allowing law abiding citizens the right to defend themselves.
2. If elected president how do you plan on destroying ISIS?
Through my five broad actions, removing the threat …show more content…

This effort should also include greater involvement with Sunni tribes that were disbanded by Iraq’s government, in order to break free of Iran’s Influence and destroy ISIS.

Second, we need “Consistent air power to support local ground forces”. American air power will give Iraqi and Kurdish forces and great advantage over ISIS forces, who do not possess any form of an air force for air support.

Third, we need to “Give current forces greater range of action”, we have about thirty-five hundred U.S. servicemen in Iraq at the moment. Instead of just having them train local forces, we should embed them in with these local fighting units giving them American lead leadership on the ground.

Fourth, we need to “Provide more support to the Kurds”, for generations the Kurdish forces have been skilled and brave soldiers. We should provide more military support to the Kurds, giving them at greater advantage over ISIS

    Many believe that the Syrian war has been prolonged by outside involvement contributing to the war in Syria. A big conflicting matter is the support of different oppositions when going from country to country. Recently a big issue is Russia’s support to the Assad Regime against the United States’s support for the Syrian Rebels. This truly is believed to be the single largest factor contributing to prolonged war and failure of reconciliation efforts (Document F). US led coalition airstrikes and Russian airstrikes have also played a big part in delaying the end to the war in Syria.

  • Argumentative Essay: Gun Control And Firearm Regulation

    1549 Words  | 7 Pages

    The topic of gun control and firearm regulation has been subject to heated debate for a long while. Both sides have potent arguments, however the core of this issue ultimately boils down to the constitution itself. More specifically the second amendment. This argument quickly becomes quite complicated because gun control and firearm regulation concerns not only the right of citizens, but more importantly the safety of citizens. The second amendment helps to guarantee an imperative right belonging to all citizens.

    Just like Waxman says it is important to coordinate international law for effectiveness but in my opinion it sometimes takes too long. (Waxman 19) I think the US could go in right away to prevent more people from dying and coordinate with everyone else after we are in there. Waxman states “Channeling decisions on the use of force through the UN Security Council, for example, has among its advantages bringing military actions within the same decision-making structure—and with the same crucial parties—as many decisions on the other instruments,” but i think would be just as effective if one country rushed in right away then had the other countries come in to back them up.

  • Abdullah Azzam And Al Qaeda

    With the November 13th attacks in Paris that killed 130 people and wounded 368, Americans are now asking themselves two things; what is the risk of an attack happening on U.S. soil and what may be done to stop such an immediate and imposing threat? The origins of such a group ready to carry out such attacks in modern day can be directly traced to Al Qaeda, whose story began in 1979 with the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. Abdullah Azzam, Al Qaeda’s founder, became a disciple of the Muslim brotherhood shortly after his family fled the West Bank following the Israeli victory in the Six Day War. The Sunni Islamic scholar and theologian began studying the works of Hassan al-Banna and Sayyid Qutb in regions such as Syria and Egypt, then re-teaching

  • Persuasive Essay On The 2nd Amendment

    1526 Words  | 7 Pages

    The question on whether the 2nd Amendment in the U.S. should be changed or not has become a widely discussed and argued topic as of recent, due to recurring incidents of shootings occurring on U.S. soil by its own inhabitants. While many would be in support of the right to bear arms, including myself, I do believe that the current gun laws need to be made more restrictive than they are in their current state, for the sake of the country and the safety of its people. I’m well aware that I am not a U.S. citizen and that I have no say in what decisions are made there regarding the country’s constitution, but I feel that what I have to say is shared by many of America’s people and that it’s not only Americans that are affected by guns but also those who are visiting the country from abroad. There are many problems regarding America’s very unrestrictive gun laws at present, whether it’s the fact that there is no federal minimum age for possession of a long gun, or the fact that individuals don’t

    Strict regulations and limitations have been pursued already and clearly do not suffice. Statics brought to attention by gun control opponents, show that gun control laws have done little to reduce crime rates. Several restrictions have been made on certain guns, considered as overly dangerous, though in the hands of an unstable criminal even a legal hunting gun can be deadly. Countless restrictions have been made, however people have still found ways around them. If people are unstable and determined enough, they will find a gun, regardless of the restrictions or regulations.

    One of the chapters this article relates to is chapter 8, which discuss about different states and nations. The Kurds are a stateless nation, a nation that does not have a state, and have a population of about 30 million, that live in a region called Kurdistan that covers parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria .The relationship between the Turkish Government and the Kurd has not been a positive one. Without the help of Turkey, establishing an independent state will be difficult for the Kurds to accomplish. In chapter 2 the main focus is population and Turkish/Kurdish population will surely start to decrease if they keep attacking each other.
