...SB 798 prohibits the sale and manufacture of BB guns and imitation firearms unless the entire exterior surface is painted in bright neon colours. This Californian bill was amended on April 13th 2011 by Californian Senator, De León. The purpose behind this bill is to protect Californians, especially accidental shooting of residents from law enforcements due to fake firearms which are indistinguishable from real guns. However, SB 798 will not make California safer and will do more harm than good. Airsoft guns are not toys in any way, shape or form. Airsoft guns are firearm replicas on a 1:1 scaling ratio and almost indistinguishable as fake firearms by appearance. The current law prohibits the sale of airsoft guns to minors unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, as airsoft guns require the same care and handling as if they were real firearms. Airsoft guns are designed to discharge non-metallic BBs six millimeters in diameter, which weigh between 0.2 to 0.4 grams. However most airsoft guns are high powered and are capable of firing at a velocity between 300 to 500 feet per second. Improper firing of such high powered airsoft guns can result in serious bruises, knocking out of tooth and even penetration of skin. Painting airsoft guns in bright neon colours will give the impression to parents that they are toys and therefore suitable for children. This will cause more harm as more airsoft guns will become more available to children. Whether painted or not, airsoft guns should...

...Health care reform in the United States has a long history. Reforms have often been proposed but have rarely been accomplished. In 2010, landmark reform was passed through two federal statutes enacted in 2010: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), signed March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 , which amended the PPACA and became law on March 30, 2010. Future reforms and ideas continue to be proposed, with notable arguments including a single-payer system and a reduction in fee-for-service medical care. The PPACA includes a new agency, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, which is intended to research reform ideas through pilot projects. ------------------------------------------------- History of national reform efforts Here is a summary of reform achievements at the national level in the United States. * 1965 President Lyndon Johnson enacted legislation that introduced Medicare, covering both hospital and general medical insurance for senior citizens paid for by a Federal employment tax over the working life of the retiree, and Medicaid permitted the Federal government to partially fund a program for the poor, with the program managed and co-financed by the individual states. * 1985 The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to give some employees the ability to continue health insurance coverage after...
