Some of the political
challenges that we are going through are starting Obama care, creating stricter
gun control, and fixing the economy.
If I were an advisor to
the president I would advise starting with stricter gun control. I would start with gun control because
of everything that has been going on in the past few years with innocent people
being killed. Right now the president will have the most power on the subject
because this issue is current in people’s minds. He will be able to propose and pass laws about gun control
now because most people will be on the same page with the him. If we wait one or two years down the
road people would forget about the issue or this issues could just get bigger
and out of hand. I believe there
should be stricter background checks when anyone buys a gun. We should check to see if they have
been in jail and we should ask a family member to vouch for an individual’s
safety. I also favor stricter gun
purchase limits. No one should have more than one gun.
Gun control is one of the
issues now, but the president should still keep an open mind to the other
factors going on like implementation of Obamacare and fixing the economy and he
should address these issues as the year goes on.
I think that the gun control issue is something that has a big possibility of being resolved soon. President Obama is in his second term and can effect changes without the fear of not being re-elected. It remains, however, that the President is hardly the only player in this situation. In fact, I think it is unlikely he will take this on as his first "project." Gun control is a hotbutton issue to many, yes, but healthcare and economic issues are a lot more important to people and will remain thus.
ReplyDeleteI think that gun control is an issue that will soon be coming to an end. The president already has plans for how we're going to execute better precautionary steps to the purchasing of firearms, especially automatic and assault ones. Gun control has always been a hot topic its just that the recent shootings have made people more eager to see some actual changes made in US policies.
