Mcdonald's Second Amendment Case Summary

The court case District of Columbia v. Heller all started when the right to have ownership of a handgun was forbidden with changes to the D.C (District of Columbia) regulations. The law prohibits the registration of a handgun and made it a offence to carry an unregistered firearm. So all legal firearms owned must be kept unloaded, disassembled, or locked up by a trigger lock, except if they were being used for lawful recreational events or in a place of business. Dick Heller is a special law enforcement officer in the District of Columbia, he applied to register a handgun he wanted to have in his home and the District of Columbia denied his request. Heller felt as if that went against the rights given to the over-all public through the Second

Only two cases in the last sixty-five years have been tried by the Supreme Court regarding gun regulations and the right to keep and bear arms. Both of these cases have ended similarly, 5-4 votes in favor gun rights activists. Justices who dissented wrote that owning a firearm for personal use was not a "liberty" interest protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Other Justices wrote that there is nothing in the Second Amendment's "text, history, or underlying rationale" that characterizes it as a "fundamental right" warranting incorporation through the Fourteenth Amendment (Mcdonald v. Chicago Oyez.com). Much of the debate in these cases is whether owning a firearm for personal use is a “fundamental right” granted

The Second amendment allows citizens to bear arms. The Second amendment means that citizens are allowed to bear arms for house protection. Citizens are protected from jail fines, if the gun is a military type gun used for protection. The government must protect the citizens from any unreasonable gun laws and disarming. One court case involving the Second amendment was the United States vs. Miller on May 15th, 1939. Jack Miller and Frank Layton carried sawed off shotguns across state lines. Both were arrested and went into trial with the Supreme court. They won the court case at first, but the the National Firearms Act only allowed shotguns with an eighteen inch barrel to be owned. They both did not have a registering stamp to show that they paid for the tax. The ruling did not take place because Jack Miller had died. The Supreme court was sent to a lower level court to be dealt with. The case helped people remember about the National Firearms Act requiring all firearms needing the register stamp. Another court case with the second amendment is District of Columbia vs. Heller in 2008. Heller was a special policemen who applied to register his pistol, but the District denied him. He enjoined the city to enforcing of the license and registration. The ruling was five to four, because the law interfered with the governments duty to protect citizens from

However, according to Clayton Cramer, an author and software engineer, and David Kopel, research director for the Independence Institute, research shows that this is not the case. A study done by the Dade County police in Miami over a period of six years, examined 21,000 permit holders. In this time frame, only one incident occurred in which the victim had his weapon taken from him. Also, there were no innocent bystanders killed by the permit holders in this study (29). The problem with gun opponents is that they do not interpret the Second Amendment correctly. The word “people” in the Second Amendment clearly means individuals citizens. Barton believes that in order to fully understand the original intent of the writers of the Second Amendment

A Case precedent that has amended the constitution for the second amendment would be Caetano v. Massachusetts, 577 U.S . in which the supreme court has ruled all forms of arms are bearable because back when the amendment was created those arms were not in existence, so this is an example of how laws have changed to cater to our

The details in the McDonald's v. Stella Liebeck case are very similar to the details of the case in Class Action. However, the legal knowledge surrounding the cases were different. For example, in Class Action the company Argo knowingly put out a defective car because it was more financially convenient to pay for settlements than it would have been to recall every single vehicle and fix them. Similarly, McDonald's was aware that their coffee was held at very hot temperature standards that were extremely dangerous to their unknowing customers. McDonald’s argued on the basis that consumers preferred hot coffee so it was good for profit (Haltom, McCann 2004). A McDonald's safety consultant testified that they received 700 complaints of burns

The case involves the legal authority of a legislative body of a municipality to ban hand guns within their jurisdiction. The Court had previously struck down a similar law banning hand guns enacted by the District of Columbia, basing its ruling on its interpretation of the Second Amendment. Calling the court's logic "flawed" the new ruling extends the application of the amendment to all states and cities, rendering Chicago's ban unenforceable.

In the case of the District of Columbia vs. Heller the Supreme Court ruled “That the federal government could not prohibit individuals from owning guns for self-defense in their homes. In the District of Columbia made it impossible for the people to possess any type of legally firearms.” The District of Columbia was under the federal government and so the court did not say that the ruling applies to any type of state firearms laws. This case really shows the limit in the federal government because the District of Columbia is under the federal government watch because the court ruled that it doesn’t applied to any type of the state firearms law. This was about the federal government and how the case was rule that they are not allow any type of ownership of firearms or handguns. This related to the article because at first Chicago was never allow to have any type of ownership of handguns but now that they have pass the law people would be allow to own handguns with certain types of restrictions.

In 2011 a lawsuit was filed naming Taco Bell as the defendant stating that Taco Bell’s meat was full of fillers add little to no beef actually in the mix. The lawsuit was filed by a vexed customer, however, there had already been some claims made over the internet as to the makeup of the Taco Bell meat this meant a potential crisis and even more so with it being all over the internet. Taco Bell had a crisis management team set up that got together after the news of the court case was out so that they could decide what the company's response would be. Taco Bell decided to go in the route of using social media to talk about the crisis at hand. The headline on social media said “Thank You for suing us” and this was done to catch people's eye

-Most of the coffee is consumed at around 13-140 degrees Fahrenheit, but McDonald service coffee between 180 and 190 degrees.

The Plaintiff’s (Pelman) now armed with suggestions by the court refiled the suit against McDonald’s 30 days later. Per the suggestions of the court, the claims were reduced to two main areas. First, that McDonalds food products sold to the public were “so processed with additives and other ingredients and preservatives” that they created a “danger and hazard”. They further stated the point and argument of the lawsuit was that McDonald’s was negligent in failing to warn consumers of this “Hazard”. The second claim in the lawsuit claimed that McDonald’s marketing behavior amounted to fraudulent and deceptive business practices under New York State’s consumer protection laws.

While society has led people to believe suing one another is the only way to solve a conflict, there are many other resolution possibilities Frederick has besides legal action. Christians are taught to love each other, not cause one another suffering as mentioned in Leviticus 19:18, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord” (NIV). Suing should only be a last resort and only for what is due and nothing more.

In world news Louis Woodward was charged and convicted of man slaughter. The British Royal Nanny was only 20 years old when she killed an eight month old baby. Upon her return to Britain she claimed that she had an unfair trial because of the “Widespread hostile press coverage”(Daniel 1437). North Korea also admits to selling missiles around the world. “We will continue to keep testing and deploying missiles” said a reporter in Seoul. North Korea aims to obtain foreign money from the selling of missiles (Times wire reports). Mcdonald’s launches first global kids’ meal offer. In over 110 countries children will receive one of eight toys free with the purchase of a happy meal. This was followed by a McDonalds 94 cent slip in the stock market after they fired over 700 employees (New York Times).

In 2003 a lawsuit on behalf of the children of New York was filed stating the food served at McDonalds caused health problems that included diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. Due to this lawsuit McDonalds needed to rebuild their brand in order for the customer to see them as a health conscience organization.

In the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment addresses the right of each individual to keep and bear arms. In the case of District Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court stated that the, “Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with the service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” Mr. Dick Heller objected the Washington D.C. handgun ban because it violates the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court validated that the handgun ban did violate the constitutionality of the right to bear arms. Also, the court advocated that the U.S. Constitution won’t withhold standards of forbidding the mentally unstable and criminals from possessing firearms.
