To use private security companies for effective governmental use, the federal government needs to have less oversight. “Private military and security contractors are subject to a complex set of laws and regulations, and their activities are reviewed and reported on by more than 20 federal oversight bodies and committees. Many U.S. regulations are new and respond to concerns generated by the U.S. government's use of private military and security contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan” (University of Denver, 2014). With most laws and regulations with these companies evolving on a rapid pace, a set standard needs to be established. Too many changes in laws and regulations can confuse what is supposed to be established. This goes hand-in-hand with …show more content…

The public sector cannot control the actions, nor do they really want to. Instead, they need to ensure that they stay safe, and if they are going to help, need training to be effective in their efforts. The public sector needs to keep them informed and come to an agreeance of protocols and establish some sort of communication. This will not only help the immigration problem, but can instill trust in the public sectors …show more content…

Government can avoid hindering its own actions to protect the homeland by building trust and setting proper expectations with civilians. To develop a comprehensive homeland security strategy, however, Washington should place greater emphasis on developing adequate societal resilience” (Flynn, 2011). One of the best ways to do this is to have the private sector more involved, and if the federal government gets rid of strict gun laws. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws and there are more murders there than anywhere else in the United States. This is because those who wish to do harm do not follow the law and obtain guns and use them for harm while the law abiding citizens follow the law and do not have guns to protect themselves. Look up a video call “The best 7 minutes of gun control speech,” it explains the truth about gun control better than anyone else can.
The last item of discussion is about cyber efforts. Technology changes at a very rapid pace. The public and private sector has always been behind to cyber defense. Not too long ago China hacked the Federal Government and stole thousands of personnel files. “The Chinese breach of the Office of Personnel Management network was wider than first acknowledged, and officials said Friday that a database holding sensitive security clearance information on millions of federal employees and contractors also was compromised” (Nakashima,

9/11, Criminal Justice Agencies and Homeland Security Thirteen years, two months and eight days have passed since September 11. Still, the remnants of a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers lingers among the public’s mind. Security has been beefed up with extreme standards, stressing the safety of the American public from eminent attacks. This has also created a boost in awareness to suspicious activities and personnel.

Chicago has had its ups and downs in the cities violent history, but early 2016 to present has been an exception. Chicago increased in homicides by 59 percent in 2016 and it has only become worse since then with a 29 percent increase in just the first few months of 2017 (Asher, FiveThirtyEight.com; Ford, The Atlantic). It is obvious that something needs to be done, but so far there have not been any major changes made or drastic measures taken in order to improve Chicago’s current state of being.

While opposers of gun control legislation believe that an increase in possession of guns reduce crimes and violence, statistics have revealed a strikingly positive correlation between possession of guns and violent crimes. The U.S. may only have 4.4% of the world’s population, but it has 42% of all civilian owned guns (Kodjack). There is a gun for almost every citizen, with “approximately 300 million firearms held by citizens in their homes” (Kodjak). These statistics have created great suspicion about the reliability of legislative regulations in restricting the citizens’ ability to obtain firearms, and reducing gun violence. Critics of the NRA’s activities have identified loopholes, or ways to illegally get by, certain gun laws.

Weapon control supporters would contend this data by saying that the insights are misdirecting, and that it is important to consider different factors, for example, the changing of times and in addition the ascent of medication and group brutality. They may have a point, yet as Washington, D. C.’s “kill rate expanded by 73%, whatever is left of the United States all in all accomplished a 11% reduction in murders” (Agresti and Smith, 2010). This is troublesome for them to clarify. A moment outline of the insufficiency of forbidding handguns is that of Chicago, Illinois. In 1982, Chicago passed a restriction on all handguns, aside from those that were pre-enrolled with the police division preceding the boycott.

In today’s society, one of the most alienating issues in American politics is gun control. More specifically, the issue is whether or not guns should be banned in the United States. Some people would say that guns should be banned because it would reduce crime as a whole and keep citizens safer. These people, enthusiasts of stricter gun laws, fear being safe in their country where there are so many people who have access to guns. Opponents of this argument, however, also fear losing safety.

has weak gun laws, the background checks are ineffective, and too many mentally ill people are getting a hold of guns. Massacres and tragedies keep reoccurring throughout America at the hands of guns. The reason of blame falls on the shoulders of the U.S. because the government is inept to the fact that the gun laws are not strong enough, the backgrounds checks are useless, and that mentally ill people are getting a hold of guns. If gun violence is to decrease in America there needs to be immediate action taken by the government to make stronger gun laws, harsher and effective background checks and ban all mentally ill people from owning a gun. These can be the steps taken by the government of the U.S. to create harsher gun control and a safer environment to live

Ready, Aim, Fire Through the past several years, the United States has experienced many different events changing the way people look at the world. Through this same time, it seems as if there has been an increase in the death toll to the lives of American citizens. From the bombing of the World Trade Center in 2001, to the Sandy Hook Shooting, the rate of mass killings in the U.S. looks to be at an all time high. President Obama and many other politicians believe that the answer to stopping all of these acts of terrorism is the further restriction of firearms in the country.
