National Security In The United States

Improved Essays
The United States’ national security has been a problem always,but especially now. Our national security has been violated several times in the last two decades and there are things to solve in order to make our country safer. In order to keep our nation safe our new president has to deal with guns,terrorists groups, and other fatal threats. I sure hope our new president focuses on these problems and solve them. Guns have been allowed in our country since it was founded. The second amendment in our constitution states that people have the right to bear arms or the right to own a gun. With recent shootings at Sandy Hook, in Aurora,Colorado, or in San Bernardino a couple weeks back, have sparked up once again the big debate about whether stronger gun-control laws should be enforced in our nation. I totally agree …show more content…
Although not big now, countries that can’t handle fatal weapons. With North Korea and Iran getting their hands on nuclear weapons the president should be really careful and protect our nation. He should definitely prevent a World War III. With new technology a new World War can be fatal to our planet.He should monitor other unstable countries with the help of other countries. The president not only needs to keep us safe but the world,as president of the United States of America. In the four years, 2017-2021, our president should definitely deal with our national security. He needs to make sure to control weapons in our country, deal with terrorism, and unstable countries. Whoever our new president is, he or she, should most definitely keep our country safe. I and everyone else should be able to live in a peaceful world where our descendants will grow and live a stable and pleasant life. I wish luck to the president. It won’t be easy to deal with all this, but I know he can. Our nation has dealt with bigger problems since it’s existence this is just one more

    According to James Jay Carafano, PhD and Jessica Zuckerman, “ Since 9/11, today the terror attacks have gone up from 19 attacks to 40 attacks” (Carafano Phd and Zuckerman). Given these points, this means that the NSA, FBI, and government aren’t doing a good job with security and should have looked into the terrorists plans before they could be carried out. So the government needs to improve on ways to keep people safe and at the same time to respect their privacy. Many people believe that the government need to step up the security to keep their information safe by the government could easily leak the information or give it to another country. The government need to stop collecting massive amounts of data from some of the 7 billion people on this earth or the people could get all of their money stolen along with stuff that is need for important things such as taxes and things like that.…

    The lack of major U.S. presence in international economic issues causes many nations to collapse as well. The continent of Africa is the center of gravity for these failed states and radical groups.2 Major powers, such as China, are problematic as they aggressively claim areas surrounded their country. The United States focused on itself for the last decade and a half, but now faces the realities of looming national security threats from both state and non-state actors. The United States needs to refocus itself on the myriad of potential attacks that could endanger the country, including Iran and North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks, and China’s strategy concerning aggressive land claims. The United States saw a departure from its role as “global policeman” with the election of…

    Guns are powerful. Not only in how much damage they can do to you with just one bullet fired, but even the presence of a gun can send any man, saint or criminal, running. Guns can be used as a form of offense and defence. They can protect our society, more than they damage it. Although some believe that gun control should further restrict the selling of firearms, they actually shouldn’t because they can be used as a form of defence, and citizens have the right, stated in the second amendment, to keep and bear arms.…

    Guns are used all around the world, but here in the United States, we need to keep our gun usage limited with gun laws. Gun laws are put into action to make sure firearms are used responsibly; however, people will always find a way to break these laws no matter how many are made. Our Second Amendment, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”, gives U.S. citizens the right to own a weapon and use it for the right reasons. Gun laws will not reduce the amount of gun deaths in the U.S. because gun laws do not determine crime; gun ownership determines crime numbers. There were 460,000 gun deaths in the U.S. between 1999-2013 and this was the 12th leading cause of death.…
