Can't you guys change the constitution and thus gun laws to end extra ordinary gun violence and crime in your country?
What do you suggest? Disarm law-abiding citizens and let the criminals have guns, often illegally obtained? I'm for more thorough background checks, mental health evaluations, etc.
They treat their constitution as the world of god and not a practical legal framework that should be adapted to meet the needs of modern society.
Yes, the US Constitution can be amended but the procedure is long and hard, per the design of the founders. They didn't want the constitution changed on whimsical grounds. Attempts to amend the 2nd Amendment have failed repeatedly even when Democrats are in control of the federal government.
It's time for Pakistan gov to intervene and get Aafia Siddiqi out. Let's see if PTI can walk the talk.Pakistan has had many opportunities to make a deal but the people who sold her are afraid of the truth coming out. If Aafia was white she would have been out long time ago.
Aafia Siddiqui is nothing more than a political football for Pakistan's political parties. When in opposition, she is a sister they vow to bring back. But when in power, they forget because she's suddenly an inconvenience.
What is Pakistan's stated position on the case against this woman? Does Government of Pakistan want her back? If yes, then have they made any diplomatic efforts to get her back?
Pakistan wants her repatriated. The US wants the release of Shakil Afridi in exchange for Aafia Siddiqui, but so far Pakistan has not taken up the offer. It looks like Aafia Siddiqui will be in jail sometime longer.
