  • 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

G. Collingwood 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Ghanaians are a welcoming people. It was my good luck on my first trip to Ghana in the summer of 2007 to meet Adwoa Grace Kyeremeh, member of the royal family and dairy farmer, who welcomed me and made me feel at home in Anomabo. This study of Anomabo's rock residences results from the collective efforts of many people, including Grace, to whom I owe gratitude. Contacts made in the summer of 2007 with local leaders and individuals such as Nana Kwa Nyanfoeku Akwa (Nana Kwa), the town historian, revealed the potential for dissertation study of the visual culture. I returned in the summer of 2008 to further my pre-dissertation research with scholars at the University of Ghana in Legon, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology in Kumasi (KNUST), and the University of Cape Coast as well as several of the leaders and townspeople of Anomabo. I stayed in Ghana for six mo nths in 2009 to complete my dissertation fieldwork. To prepare for my interviews, I studied the Akan culture and Twi language at the University of Florida.
