1. Take a position, articulate your position referring to information from your source.
My position on gun control is that it should be
regulated and be banned for the sake of the people who could potentially be harmed.As the nation reels from the horror of Friday's shootings in a Connecticut elementary school, where a gunman so numb to human sensibility that he could casually snuff out the lives of wide-eyed innocents slaughtered 20 children and six adults, politicians are crafting news releases. Among them are New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and California's Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, who are both calling for stricter gun-control laws. on the Anti assault weapons bill people looked towards the The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB), or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons". The 10-year ban was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment. Senator Feinstein wants to reinstate this bill to prohibit certain firearms from civilians. and i believe he is taking the right measure in order to keep the American people safe. Also President Obama is supporting the
Senators cause as well.
2. Articulate the alternative opinion. Make reference to information from a site you found.
There are many reasons to be against gun control. When talking about gun control you need to get into that the second amendment states the right to bear arms, and many other subjects. The second amendment states that people are allowed to keep and bear arms. The fight most people are trying to fight about is the fact that if you get gun control laws you are defeating the point of the second amendment. People feel they should have the right to have a weapon in the act of a burglary. Now because of the second amendment we can’t make gun laws that let police have guns. also in a way people would use this excuse to just have their weapons and to be able to do illegal things. This can be a front to have weapons for criminal matters, like violence, threats, murders, suicide, etc. Reasons why poeple want guns are that they seem cool, because of Legacy of their parents, Hunting, target shooting, Self Defence, and even social reasons.
3. Write a conclusion stating how the alternative opinion failed to persuade you.
This alternative opinion has failed to persuade me because even though we have the right to bear arms, people are still in danger and people can still be reckless and shoot other for no apparent reason. The alternative opinion still failed to change my perception with guns because people can say that the gun are cool or it has been part of peoples history and family but in reality they serve the purpose of hurting other and potentially killing.
