Hello. In our society, many people wish to implement stricter gun control laws in our society. I am against the proposals, and am taking the con side of this argument.The link we will be using is here.http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/files/serve/?File_id=9a9270d5-ce4d-49fb-9b2f-69e69f517fb4This is a very confusing legal document, so we will be quoting from here. http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/assault-weapons-ban-summaryYes, I know that there are quite...

•Abortion
ProComments
A woman should be able to have an abortion for absolutely ANY reason up until 26 weeks of pregnancy. After that deadline, she should be allowed an abortion for medical reasons only.

•Animal RightsUnd
•Barack Obama
UndComments
I'm British so don't have too much an interest in US politics.
•Border FenceN/O
•CapitalismPro
•Civil Unions
N/OComments
The fact that gay people have to go down a different route to straight people and be 'partners' rather than 'husbands' or 'wives' is disgusting. Either everyone has civil unions or everyone has marriage.

ConComments
If you earn more - you pay more anyway, putting a higher percentage for higher earners doesn't make sense. There should be a flat rate for income tax until around £300,000 at which point, money earned OVER that cut off point is taxed at a higher rate.
•Racial Profiling
ProComments
I'm not racist - but if it's a fact that a certain group of people are more likely to commit a crime than others, then they should be subject to a proportionally higher amount of security than others of less likely groups. It's not racism - it's seeing fact and acting upon it.
•RedistributionCon
•Smoking Ban
ProComments
Total PUBLIC smoking-ban. But smokers should be allowed to smoke in their own homes if that it their wish.

ConComments
If you aggravate someone and start killing their people, they're going to bloody bite back. It's common sense. You leave them in their land, and they'll leave us in ours.
