The Second Amendment’s Reach

This article introduces all of the states that have extremely high crime levels, but have the right to bear arms in tact.  This right is leading to more violence in the community and it must be avoided.  This right was possibly alright in the older times, but now we have weapons that are more advanced and can kill more people at one time on the spot.  This law may possibly be the worst out of all of the laws that are allowed in the constitution because it only raises violence.  Even when it comes to the police.  You may have good cops or bad cops, but guns can be used to kill and intimidate, leaving the victim scorned physically and/or mentally.  This right should not be considered a right but some what a privilege.

D.C. vs. Heller Has No Effect on Federal Gun Control Laws

This article is about a court case that was trying to rule out the law that gives you the right to bear arms in D.C.  The law is still legal and i think that this should vary towards different people when it comes to carrying weaponry that risks the lives of certain people.  I believe that if at any point in time your life may still be threatened by people who the police are unable to protect you from.  I would disagree if that person had a criminal record and that each person should have a limited amount of bullets. As well as any other weapon that was in store for the people.  This article introduces how people take this right to the extreme, with using shotgun and pistols with lots of ammo.  They should not allow them to have this amount of weaponry for one individual.

States prepare to combat stimulus strings

This article introduces the tenth amendment and how the Oklahoma state Senator Randy Brogdon plans in the future to erase these rights from the people because they are not using the amendment to their advantage.  They are using it senselessly and irresponsibly, so he intends to step in and figure out a solution for this problem.  I disagree fully with his decisions to do this because people deserve their rights and individuality because it defines who you are.  Without these rights there is no civilization, only a world full of puppets and the puppeteer.  He should try another way to get around this problem because it seems to me that he is taking the easy way out.  Meaning that he doesn't really know what he is doing, which implies him not being voted to be in office this up coming election.

Abuse of Authority

This article shows that government is taking things into there own hands.  Such as they recently were allowed to send out national security letters to people and organizations that may be putting the society in jeopardy.  National security letters are used to obtain information such as credit and financial data and telephone or e-mail subscriber records imformation.   They can use this information to understand the companies income and expenses, to take out that money to support those in the war.  I also think that using  peoples taxes to aid in war with other countries.  It is the government that is involved in this war, not those soldiers.  They are fighting for those who have caused that war, and those are not even there reasons for joining in the war.  You will not see any rich people going into war to possibly die for a cause that they do not approve.  Another source of abuse of authority in the government is when they create propaganda to lure those people into fighting for war.  This is abuse of power because they give you opportunity with rewards, but lasting through it deserves more than what they offer you.  The rewards only apply to those who can not afford college or need money to put food on the table.  They also abuse there authority by forcing people to do what they do not want to do, like forcing people to go to war when they do not chose to and they have more important things to do in their lives.

Kiss Goodbye to the 4th Amendment

This article illustrates the 4th amendment and that it is the right that allows you to accuse someone of wrongdoing with evidence, therefore, only giving you the right to invade someone's privacy with a warrant.  Sense we are in war and terrorism and immigrants are America's priority in keeping the population at a minimum and keeping the country safe. We may be considered racist or stereotypes when we accuse someone who looks as though they can be an immigrant or terrorist.  This has been a situation that we try to avoid, but the stakes are too high and now, the police officers can ask for your papers on the spot if they see any sides of that person being either of those things.  Some of the signs that they are looking for are improper english and not having any idea where to find the nearby locations.  This may be unfair to those people who are being accused, but i agree with these precautions because we got to the point where we must act.  If these precautions are not taken we may get to the point where we are putting to much care in providing for everyone, including those immigrants.

A 'mega mosque' near Ground Zero?

This article illustrates the Mega Mosque being built near Ground Zero, where the 911 occurred, and in which was caused by Arabian Terrorists.  The public believes that this is disrespectful towards those who died during the 911 because those who are building the mosque are Arabs.  I think that we are simply over reacting over the situation.  We are criticizing all Arabs for something that a small portion of them did. Those Arabs were classified as evil by our opinion and all of the Arabs that want to build the mosque, so why are we making such a big deal out of this.  It is selfish of us to even think of taking their rights of religion away from them.  We have even had terrorists that posed as a threat and killed hundreds of their own citizens, but we failed to mention that to the public when they began to persecute those Arabs. People have a right to there religious beliefs.  What we don't have a right to do is to remove them of there religious beliefs.

I understand where the people are coming from and if they were intending on letting them build the mosque, why did it have to be one block away from where 911 was.  They may have their rights, but that is basically mocking those who died, even if it wasn't those individuals who committed the crimes.  The same people who were willing to take there own lives to just kill a small portion of individuals for no apparent reasons, came from the same background as the Arabs wanting to build the mosque.  Why were they evil and the others are here, seemingly good people, but they had the same teachings, rituals, and culture.  Can you fully trust those people, even though they were not the ones who actually committed those crimes?

This situation is extremely confusing, but we should not have the right to take away their religion, even though it may seem wrong to a certain group of people.  We are being selfish and stubborn and we just need to worry about what is happening in our community instead of what everyone else might think. This is not even negotiable, they deserve the right to there religion and we should embrace the idea and go with the flow.
