2016 Pros And Cons 2016

A very popular controversy in our country, especially around election day, is gun control. Both presidential candidates have a different view of the policy for gun control. Hilary Clinton believes that most of the violence that is happening in America would be tamed if there were tighter gun laws. Donald Trump believes the exact opposite; that guns are not the cause of violence, people are. All over social media people are complaining/praising about the new iPhone update which replaces a gun with a squirt gun. This angers people who own guns because Apple is showing their support to take their second amendment away. What most people who agree with the Gun Control Laws do not realize is that according to the FBI, Knives are used in nearly five

Mass shootings are increasing in the United States, and gun control advocates are seizing the opportunity to push anti-gun legislation to deter gun violence in America. Guns and the Second Amendment have come to the forefront of political rhetoric, leading to conflicting views between lawmakers on the future of gun legislation. Republican lawmakers are encouraging law abiding citizens to acquire firearms and to defend themselves against acts of violence by criminals. On the contrary, Democratic lawmakers believe the only way to slow gun violence in the United States is to remove guns from society. While certain politicians believe strict gun laws would protect the American people, the proposed policies would make our nation more vulnerable

Hillary Clinton’s view of abortion differs immensely from that of Donald Trump. She has said that as president, she’ll stand up for Planned Parenthood and women’s access to critical health services, including safe, legal abortion. She believes that “government has no business in the decisions that women make with their families in accordance with their faith and medical advice” (Lafrance). Clinton advocates for partial birth abortion as well as late term abortion in an instance where the pregnancy is threatening the life of the mother. She would like to

Some Democratic and Republican leaders and followers are interested in a bi-partisan middle ground when it comes to gun control. President Obama proposed a “Common-sense gun safety reform”. This would include, businesses that are selling firearms must be licensed to do so, expanded background checks, and improve mental health outreach (Rienzi, 2016). A majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions (ProCon.org, 2016).

Clinton, opposes gun control laws because it terrorizes people. “We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,” Clinton said during a live CNN town hall. (Miller). Sanders is neutral about the gun laws. He voted against decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1 day, but voted yes on allowing guns in checked baggage (“Bernie Sanders on Gun Control”). Trump feels it is alright to have guns because in case the government requested people to turn in their guns only the good citizens would abide while criminals would not and this would leave the good citizens unprotected (“Donald Trump on Gun Control”). Carson, is in support of law abiding citizens having a right to carry guns, but is not in favor of semi-automatic weapons in the city (“Ben Carson on Gun Control”). While all these presidential candidates have valid points, I agree with Hilary Clinton. There should be limited rights to ownership of guns. It is not safe for people to carry guns everywhere. Carrying guns, especially in schools would create a lot of fear

With the issue of gun control, there tends to be many different inferences and questions about what Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are thinking, and what they are going to do to solve this problem. Donald

According to, On The Issues Hillary Clinton asserted, "90 people a day die from gun violence in our country. That's 33,000 people a year." Clinton has a strong appeal on gun violence and how she wants to prevent it. Hillary believes that if the government or FBI are watching you due to terrorist links you shouldn’t be able to just go buy a gun without any inquiry and questions asked. Hillary wants to expand background checks so that people with criminal records aren’t able to buy guns. In addition, Clinton wants to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers, other violent criminals, and the severely mentally ill by supporting the laws that work against people with criminal records and mental illness to stop them from buying guns. Furthermore,

Another key position in the 2016 presidential election is gun control. Hillary Clinton wants to expand background checks to more gun sales by closing the gun show and internet sale loopholes. She also wants to keep guns away from the severally mentally ill, domestic abusers, and other violent criminals. Donald trump on the other hand wants to focus on improving mental health treatment to catch mass shooters before a crime. He also wants to focus on fixing the “broken” system, instead of expanding background checks.

Every presidential election in the United States is different, but what makes this election stand out more than others? The candidates, obviously. But more importantly, it’s the economic and cultural issues that intensify this 2016 election.

Both party platforms views on guns don’t really seem that different but when you compare the platform to the candidate it can be very different. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president, wanted very strict gun laws. She said in 2015 about the Heller v. Columbia case, a court case that confirmed individual gun rights under the 2nd Amendment, that “The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get.” Donald Trump said in meet the press in 2015 “Guns, no guns, it doesn’t matter. You have people that are mentally ill and they’re going to come through the cracks and they’re going to do things that people will not even believe are possible.” He also said that the right to defend ones self should end at your driveway, that you should be able to protect yourself anywhere. It is clear where the two candidates stand on the issue so it can be easy for one to decide which candidate they think best suits their needs as a voter.

Hillary Clinton believes that gun culture in the United States has become disorderly and has reached the point where almost 90 people a day die from gun violence. Considering these facts, Clinton has been advocating stricter gun control as early as 2000. In her recent presidential campaigns and debates, she proposes that background checks and closing the gun loopholes are necessary. If American lives are in danger because of the purchase of a gun from an illegal dealer/manufacturer, Clinton believes in holding them accountable as well. Finally, she also believes in preventing violent criminals and mentally ill people from obtaining guns. Although Clinton believes that tougher laws are necessary, she believes we must stay consistent with the

The 2016 Presidential Election has been filled with large amount of controversy and drama. The two candidates, Hillary Clinton for the democratic party, and Donald Trump for the Republican party, each have a list of questionable acts. The two come from different walks of life and both have different views on how America could better herself. As voting time approaches it is time to look at all our candidates have given us so that a decision can be reached. By going back into their backgrounds, considering their proposed policies, and who has been funding their campaign, the most suitable candidate should be uncovered.

Too many people are out in this world carrying guns they shouldn't be able carry. There are numerous of cases of innocent people being killed due to psychopaths who are allowed to carry these guns or are allowed to buy these guns from any local gun store. For instance, there was a mass shooting in Orlando, Florida this year at a local gay night club called The Pulse. Forty-nine people were killed and fifty-three were injured. That week alone, there were so many innocent lives were taken away. Another case that week was a singer, Christina Grimmie, was shot during a meet and greet by a “fan.” This man was able to get into a concert with a gun let alone got away getting into a meet and greet. Donald’s response to the Orlando shooting was downright horrific. Donald could only respond by bragging that he predicted a such thing would happen. (Huffington) Donald also tried to exploit the fact that the shooting occurred at a gay nightclub, arguing that he would do more to defend LGBT Americans than would Hillary Clinton. Donald didn’t mention that he once felt uncomfortable when he saw two men kiss on television. (Huffington) Hillary Clinton condemned the Orlando night club shooting as an act of “terror” and “hate” and called for action to reduce access to “weapons of war” in a statement. She also said, “I join Americans in praying for the victims of the attack in Orlando, their families and the first responders who did

Presidential elections will take place on November 8 2016. The following nominees are running: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jill Stein, and Gary Johnson. Hillary Clinton is a part of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, Jill Stein is in the Green Party, and Gary Johnson is the Libertarian candidate. The candidate who gets more than 269 electoral votes wins the election regardless of whoever gets the popular vote.

According to Al Jazeera Media Network, the number of civilian owned guns around the world is estimated at 650 million, and 270 million of those guns belong to the people of the United States. That means that there are 90 guns per every 100 Americans, giving the U.S. the highest gun ownership rate in the world. The country that comes in second is Yemen, with a population of 23 million there are 55 firearms per every 100 Yemenis, which is still only half as many guns as America, even though Yemen is a war-torn country with political instability. When it comes to number of deaths by firearms however, the United States is fifth in the world, with Brazil taking the lead. On the other end of the spectrum, we have a country like Japan, which has one of the strictest gun laws and one of the lowest murder rates in the world. Switzerland for example ranks high in gun ownership, but low in violent crime. So when compared to the rest of the world, the United States stands alone with both high gun ownership and high gun violence despite being a well off, developed country. After the attack on the historic African American church in Charleston, South Carolina, President Obama delivered a speech in which he said, “We as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.” The debate on gun control has now developed into screaming matches between politicians
