The proposition 13 amendment is a property tax about how taxes can’t exceed 1% of a property value. California has always had a problem with taxes due to the enormous number of illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes but use public services that are funded by taxes. This was partly solved by legalizing marijuana which made a large dent in the debt California had. Maybe these golf courses paying the correct amount of taxes would fix the tax problem altogether. Land use comes into play because everyone needs to have their property at its best use according to the taxes.

Proposition 54, the Public Display of Legislative Bills Initiative, would 1) prohibit California legislators from passing any bill without posting the bill for the public 72 hours beforehand, 2) require that videos of all the state’s public legislative meetings be posted online for twenty years, and 3) allow anyone to record videos of meetings and use them for “any legitimate purpose.” While proponents argue that this initiative is necessary to increase transparency, you should follow the Democratic Party in opposing it because it would unnecessarily slow down the legislative process, discourage bipartisan compromises, and enable misuse of videos in misleading ads. Furthermore, if Proposition 54 fails, you should offer an alternative piece

Over the years, the enforcing of gun control laws has become a contentious issue that has gathered diverse opinions on whether or not this is an efficient policy that will decrease gun violence. This is exactly what proposition 63 strives to do, regulate the sales of ammunition and the people that can purchase it and require an extensive background for those who wish to obtain a firearm. The overall goal of this proposition is to attempt to reduce gun brutality in the United States, in order to create a safer community. If proposition 63 passes then the requirements to own a firearm or sale ammunition will become even stricter. However, it is essential to evaluate the economic impact this proposition will bring about.

Opposers of Proposition 63 say that the gun control measure will create new, unnecessary restrictions on bullet sharing. These people believe that the proposition will limit who a normal, law-abiding citizen can share their bullets with. According to the email blasts of the Firearm Policy Coalition, Proposition 63 will not only decrease ammunition sales, but also “criminalize the sharing of bullets between hunting and shooting partners” (Nichols).

History Speech - Hatshepsut Good Morning, I am delighted to be here today to share my depiction of the great Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Pharaoh Hatshepsut ‘Foremost of Noble Ladies’, became the first great woman in history. She was only the third woman to become pharaoh in 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian history and the first women to obtain full power of the position. She was one of the most fascinating personalities of the ancient world with most of the interest focused on her coming from the fact that she was a woman in a man’s world. Traditionally most of the Egyptian rulers were men, but Hatshepsut managed to establish herself as pharaoh of Egypt in 1473 BC, with her impressive reign spanning 22 years.

One of the major arguments for the elimination of firearms, and derivatively for gun control laws, is that such measures would reduce the number of criminal homicides.' It has been argued, however, that eliminating guns would have no such effect because if somebody wants to kill, he will find a weapon to achieve "his destructive goal"; there is, it is said, more than one way to skin a cat. This paper is an attempt to bring this phase of the gun control debate closer to a resolution, through analysis of data from the Police Department of the City of Chicago on reported criminal homicides and serious, but not fatal, criminal assaults during 1965, 1966, and 1967.

On the issue of gun control, I had always thought along the lines of opposing or supporting the issue but had never thought that there could be another argument different from these two main ones that could be discussed. It was therefore quite refreshing to look at the issue from Novak’s point of view. The fact that he provided evidence to support his claim that law enforcement has worked before in reducing gun violence cases made his article all the more interesting and believable. He shows that the debate on gun control may just have been pointless all this time as the issue that should be discussed is really not whether people should have guns or not but rather how to enforce the law to ensure that perpetrators of gun violence are

As the ideal utilitarian approach focuses on the concept that the good will outweigh the bad, the good through gun control is easily identified through the way it will reduce the amount of violence as the restrictions of guns will reduce casualties. This has become the fundamental argument for the proponent camp where it is also seen how proponents argue the fact that “guns kill people” following cases of gun violence. As seen in the example of the cases that are ongoing in Baltimore, Maryland and Compton, California, these represents the clear fact that gun control is needed. The society will be a better place and it will be in the interest of the overall society for gun control to be needed.

Instead of banning or limiting guns, the evidence will show that removing the current restrictions and targeting individuals instead of guns will be a more effective process. The topic of gun control has two polarized opinions. One such opinion targets the individuals responsible for the crime, instead of just the weapons. John Moorhouse and Brent Wanner tackle the issue of gun control in their article “Does Gun Control Reduce Crime Or Does Crime Increase Gun Control”, which was published in 2006 in the twenty-sixth volume of the Cato Journal. These researchers looked at the effects gun control laws had on violent crime and gun violence in the individual states.
