An Analysis Of Willie's Gun Store
Barack Obama our president of the United States of America once again wants to issue another executive order. Only this time, he wants to take away one of my civil liberties. Civil liberties are my God given rights that will not be taken away by anyone. Each American is entitled to civil liberties and President Obama has no earthly power or authority to revoke any of these rights. This particular executive order will “[ban] all firearms except for those required by employment” (XXX). Thus, I will no longer be able to operate Willie’s Gun Store, the business that I own. Moreover, I would not be able to make a stable income to provide for my two daughters to continue their college education. By the first amendment I am entitled to freedom

    Bill Murray: Gun Carnage In The Nation

    In “Gun Carnage in the Nation, Groundhog Day in the Capitol,” the editorial board of the The New York Times explains that the failed attempt to have America to incorporate a gun control law into into their government policy, acts just like the movie Groundhogs Day. In this 1993 movie, Bill Murray, who plays Phil, has to keep on repeating the same day over until he can learn to appreciate Goundhog’s Day and the editors believe that the Democrats contains comparison to Bill Murray’s role here, as the appreciation of their proposal never seems to exist. The journalists support this claim by Senator, Dianne Feinstein signing the proposition to rekindle the government restriction on guns and implements of war endorsed from the army. A warrant to…

    There are no effective checks on presidential power

    Presidential powers are laid out in article II of the constitution, these include a range of formal power such as the power to propose legislation, submit the annual budget, sign legislation, veto legislation, act as chief executive, nominate federal judges and several others. There are also a range of informal powers that have progressively increased in power such as the ability for Presidents to issue executive orders. Although the founding fathers intended to create a government that had a system of checks and balances to prevent tyranny, the effectiveness of these checks in place may not have been as authoritative as intended as the President has ways of getting around the checks in place.…

    Should Civil Liberties Be Restricted During Times of War

    During America's most consequential wars, the United States government has restricted civil liberties of the American people despite the nation’s strong rooted foundation for preserving every citizen’s rights. When danger is an ever present factor for the nation due to war or conflict restrictions are often placed on some of the most basic freedoms and liberties. Perfect balancing of these restrictions is vital to the countries wellbeing. One of the most well-known examples of this type of restraint is Abraham Lincoln’s precedent of suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus and issuing martial law. Lincoln’s actions clearly violated the rights of the people that are guaranteed to them under the Constitution. While out of context it wouldn’t make much sense, the specific circumstance’s Abraham Lincoln was facing completely justified his unconstitutional orders. In retrospect we can now see how important Lincoln’s decisions were; If not for his actions the union may never have won the Civil War and history would have been irreparably altered. History repeated itself when following in Lincoln’s footstep’s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment of over 100,000 people of Japanese descent in response to Japan’s attacks on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base. The country was in a state of panic and a response was needed to make Americans feel secure. Less than five decades later a similar attack devastated America. Similar to Roosevelt, George W. Bush was catapulted into taking responsive action after the September 11th terrorist attacks on U.S soil. His response was the Patriot Act. It was our founding fathers intentions for the people of these United States to be sheltered by liberty and freedom, however, it’s clear that later day presidents used a strong balance of discretion and justice for the sake of a greater good and national security. The government should be able to impede certain civil liberties should the situation arise where it is necessary as long as…

    Gun Control Policy Paper

    The President must be able to justify the need for such drastic gun control changes and evaluate reasonable solutions to civil rights leaders who may think this policy is a violation of the Constitution. The President must understand the significant challenge involved with the proposed policy reform. He must be willing to accept these challenges whole-heartedly and commit to the time and energy required to move such life-altering policy. Though there will be avid supporters of the proposal, the President must prepare necessary defenses to address those opposing the…

    According to the Second Amendment in the U.S. Constitution, citizens have the right to bare arms; this meaning, the government also has to prevent such crimes and death from gun control. There is a huge debate on weather or not the government should restrict gun controls or permit them. The U.S. Constitution is not something that can be messed with. The government and the most powerful man in the world, Obama, cannot mess with the Constitution. As of right now, Obama is thinking about changing it up a little due to the current incident that occurred on October 1st, in Roseburg, Oregon.…

    Gun Control Advertisement Analysis

    In the spring of 2013, GREY Advertisement agency released a series of advertisements for the organization “Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.” These public service announcements, placed on billboards around the country, are intended to “reflect the absurdity of our country's current lax laws and weak regulation of guns,” (Huffington Post, 2013). Contrasting a piece of candy to an assault rifle, one image uses emotion and logic to persuade the viewer. By taking a stance in the current gun-control debates, this image rephrases a significant social and political issue still faced in America today. Although this advertisement did not create a controversy at the time of its publication,…

    Gun Violence Research Paper

    The word safe has many different definitions when in the context of firearms. Many republicans believe that the country will not be safe until citizens can freely defend themselves, their families, and their homes through the use of weapons, if necessary. In contrast, many democrats believe that the nation will not be safe until guns are taken out of the hands of all individuals, with the exception of police and federal agents. Since Obama is democratic, his views of safety relate closely to the average democratic view, however his plans in his executive action are far from unconstitutional. The White House claims that in an effort to make the nation safer, Obama’s executive order calls for a limitation on the size of magazines (“FACTS”). In not so distant history, this limitation on the size of magazines could have prevented the deaths of numerous individuals. Adam Lanza, the man who committed the acts of violence against Sandy Hook Elementary School was armed with two pistols and a Bushmaster .223 caliber AR-15 assault rifle (“The Promise”). He loaded—and reloaded— the firearms with “ten 30-round high-capacity magazines and twenty 20-round magazines,” and these 700 rounds were enough to kill everyone in the school” (“The Promise”). It was only during the brief moments in which he was changing magazines that several children were able to escape. If Lanza had been limited to standard 10-round magazines, he would have had to reload 16 times instead of six, thus providing more time for the children to escape, resulting in less unnecessary deaths. With this one tragedy, it is evident that Obama’s plan to reduce the size of magazines is beneficial and can lead to less fatalities, which in return makes the nation safer…

    The Power Of Presidency

    Instead of sending his ideas for laws or changes to Congress for them to vote upon, he has been just by passing their judgment and using his own executive power. For example the New York Post just posted on November 14th President Obama insists he’ll bypass Congress if necessary on immigration – saying he won’t “stand by” and wait for the legislature to act. (NYP Holdings Inc, 2014) Two debates have already started on this issue and it’s either a pathway to citizenship or illegals are pardoned. In my opinion why would you shield immigrants from being deported and give them a right to vote when they illegally granted themselves permission to be in your country no matter what crimes they committed. Congress can fight back against Obama’s executive power by using the power of the purse, sense of Congress resolution, nominees, stand- alone legislation, and a lawsuit. (Daren Bakst, 2014) They can use the power of the purse which is not giving the executive branch an effective check. If Congress passed a sense of Congress resolution it would stop Obama but it would also state Congress’s viewpoint on the situation. Congress could stop taking action on judicial and executive nominees. (Daren Bakst, 2014) Stand-alone legislation would go into the existing…
