  • N°559 DECEMBRE LES ARMES ET LES LARMES 2012 a PROPOS DE LA TUERIE DU CONNECTICUT Une Fois De Plus, La Folie Meurtrière a Frappé Les Etats-Unis
    Par Koffi du 18 Editorial SOUZA N°559 DECEMBRE LES ARMES ET LES LARMES A PROPOS DE LA TUERIE DU CONNECTICUT 2012 Une fois de plus, la folie meurtrière a frappé les Etats-Unis. 26 personnes, dont 20 enfants sont mortes sous les balles d'un tueur dans une école du Connecticut. Et une fois de plus est mise en cause la liberté de s'armer reconnue aux citoyens américains. UNE LIBERTE CONSTITUTIONNELLE On sait en effet que la Constitution américaine précise (AMENDEMENT II (15 décembre 1791)) : "Une milice bien organisée étant nécessaire à la sécurité d'un Etat libre, il ne pourra être porté atteinte au droit du peuple de détenir et de porter des armes." L'idée à l'époque était de garantir la liberté des citoyens face à l'éventuelle oppression d'une armée de métier au service de la Fédération. Depuis, loin de tomber en désuétude, cette liberté de s'armer a été renforcée par la Cour Suprême. On se demandait jusqu'à une date récente si cette impossibilité de limiter le droit de s'armer s'appliquait seulement à l'État fédéral ou bien à toutes les instances nationales ou locales. En 2010, la Cour Suprême a tranché estimant que le deuxième amendement peut s'imposer à chaque État, au même titre que la liberté d'expression ou celle d'exercer la religion de son choix. En d'autres termes, les États ou les municipalités ne peuvent pas limiter la détention d'armes à feu : dans l'arrêt McDonald v. Chicago, la Cour Suprême a annulé les dispositions d'un règlement municipal de la ville de Bi-hebdomadaire Togolais d’Informations et d’Analyses suite à la page

Soccer has spread to every corner of the world and although it is not the most popular game everywhere, it is without a doubt the most popular sport in the world. This popularity of the sport has allowed for money to be poured into the game, both by sponsors and fans. The economics of the game have created a more competitive atmosphere within the sport. The competitive nature of the sport attracts more players every year from everywhere in the world.
