will not end the crime or stop it from occurring, but it represents a strong first step in lowering the rates down, so that then congress could decide what the next logical step in the equation. By doing this it would also not raise the crime rates due to people owning a firearm that suddenly became illegal. Which would surface as an economical improvement that a total ban would not achieve. With the awareness of violent crimes on the rise, many have started to look to the media and politicians for support and help in trying to end these issues. People on Capital Hill stating that gun control ensures the only solution, tend to act as a radical biased on their actions. Senator Dianne Feinstein went live on a T.V. interview with Wolf Blitzer. In the interview they address an issue headed by Senator Feinstein, the bill that she attempted to pass through congress would effectively outlaw 185 different guns and places limitations on thousands more (Interview with Senator). If a bill like this passed through congress it would have banned automatic weapons. Crime rates tend to show that those are not the issue; the weapons that need to stay limited appear as handguns. Handguns tend to see use the most violent crimes, and many presume to regard as the easiest to obtain. Later on Wolf Blitzer comments about how the senator has made some enemies in the senate by trying to push a bill as drastic as this through congress. She would later reply with a comment about how the NRA acts upon…

Milk: The Definition of a Dignitary Used lightly in today’s society, the word “leader” is commonly used to refer to a person who comes out and directs a group to take action in some way, shape, or form. By this definition, a good leader would be one whose directions land the group he or she is directing above all other groups. But in certain instances, like the ones of Odysseus and Harvey Milk, a leader isn’t always someone who is trying to be greater than those around them, they’re simply just…

When Harvey Milk was a child homosexuality was considered a mental illness. People were very afraid and harsh about homosexuality. Because of this Harvey Milk had a very rough childhood, and he had to hide his sexuality for a big part of his life. But in 1977 Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Which made him the first openly gay political figure in US history. The story of Harvey Milk teaches us that you can persevere and make a difference when you are facing…

shootings rather than the overall impact of gun violence on our nation. In 2015, there have been more mass shootings than there have been days. ("United States Senator Dianne Feinstein") It’s an increasingly concerning problem that many seem to brush to the side – except for one senator, Dianne Feinstein of California. Dianne Feinstein has been a leading voice in the movement to implement common sense gun safety measures such as preventing people on a federal…

“We tortured some folks.” Barack Obama, President of the United States, said in response to the release of the CIA torture report when he addressed post-9/11 America. Senator Dianne Feinstein accused the CIA of spying on the Senate’s intelligence committee. John Brennan, director of the CIA, denied that accusation. However, an investigation brought forth the truth; the CIA had penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee and found that the Senate was preparing a report…

faster and more destructive. Some say because of this “the military-style semiautomatic assault weapon, has become the weapon of choice for grievance killers” (Alters). Citizens shouldn’t let murders be more willing to kill. These guns should be banned because they can be bought easily. Assault weapons were banned once and it helped with reducing crime. In 1994 the government placed a ban on 19 firearms that were categorized as assault weapons. This banned had the intention to reduce shootings…

She also supports targeting suspected terrorists. Feinstein agrees with the income tax increase and that one legislative priority should be balancing the budget. She supports the regulation of the gas emissions and believes that the climate…

'cause if I didn 't, you never know what could have happened.” This helps to prove my point that guns can be used horribly in the wrong hands but they can also be used to keep people safe. Like she said, if she didn’t have a gun she could have robbed, or even raped or murdered. This isn’t a rare circumstance either, according to gun owners.org guns are used 6850 times per day in an act of protection. They go on to say that this is 80 times more than they are used to kill. After the Sandy…

the community. My experience with my first internship, Forward Together, gave me the opportunity to work closely with people from different ethnic backgrounds and age groups. We had students who were in high school to college graduates. Together, we were able to present in Oakland public schools about the importance of making healthy decisions and being knowledgeable about comprehensive sex education. From my internship, I was able to maintain an open-minded mindset because we focused on…
