The Trump Administration’s war on women continues in strong force this week. President Donald Trump is not just content with naming Neil Gorsuch — who, according to a March 20 NPR article, once told law students that employers should be allowed to ask prospective female employees if they are planning on having children — to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Following the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas, on Oct. 2, the National Rifle Association has done the unexpected and called for regulation on the sale of bump stocks and guns in the United States. A bump stock is a device added to a rifle that allows it to mimic a rapid fire weapon. According to an Oct. 5 article in the New York Times, the devices are legal, because they do not give rifles full automatic ability. However, audio clips from the Las Vegas shooting prove just how effective bump stocks are. In Las Vegas, about 90 shots were produced in ten seconds; a fully automatic weapon has a rate of 98 shots in seven seconds. This small distinction is the difference that determines the legality of firearm possession. However, according to an Oct. 8 article from The Hill, NRA executive director Chris Cox recently stated, “We don’t believe bans worked on anything,” yet he stated that the organization was open to regulating things differently.

According to a Sept. 13 article from CNN, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) proposed a new health care bill that would give Americans free access to doctor visits, hospital stays, reproductive care and other comprehensive health services. It would also eliminate premiums on private insurance, deductibles and copays; however, some may still have to pay up to $250 on prescription medication. The plan would cost nearly $1.4 trillion annually, resulting in a 2.2 percent tax increase on Americans. What do you think of Sanders's plan, and is it feasible?
