Gun Control: Is it a win or a loss? Upon doing the research for my last gun control paper, I found that I had a really tough time deciding which side of the argument I thought was more correct. So I decided to conduct more specific research and figure out if in fact, there was a winning side to the argument. Upon doing my research, I formed a research question which was; “Is there in fact a winning side to the argument of gun control?”. I was on the hunt to find out if making gun control laws
Gun Control The argument of gun control has become a debate of society. There is a lot of emotional rhetoric behind this debate. Gun control will not work as statistics, history (with other foreign countries), and common sense have shown. Gun laws will not significantly modify the already false accusations made against guns and gun violence. One of the biggest myths is that people think that guns are the cause of mass murder. The use of extended magazines is also a myth as people believe that it

Gun Control The gun control debate in the US is often contentious and politically divisive. And with upcoming elections always looming in the near future, we will continue hearing a great deal from the media as well as politicians about what should or should not be done about “too many guns” in our society.

Gun Control The argument over gun control is an ongoing debate with the first big written regulation dating back to when the 2nd amendment was first written in 1791. The second amendment states that “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” (Legal Information Institute).

Nowadays, gun control is a hot and heavy topic. Some believe the laws should be stricter while others believe in the right to bear arms and nothing infringing that right. The people who believe in stricter laws are putting their main focus on murders, robberies, and other negative things that go along with any weapon. However, while guns are an accessory to murder, robbery, and many other crimes, they also have positive effects on people. For many people, guns have saved their lives, fed their families

Arguments are apart of everyday life. We encounter them every day: at home, at work, while watching tv, driving, even listening to the radio. I am not saying we regularly encounter shouting matches, in fact arguing is a communication tool many of us use every day to problem solve. The true nature of arguments is described best by Ramage et al “…argument does not imply anger. In fact, arguing is often pleasurable. It is a creative and productive activity that engages us at high levels of inquiry and
