citizens, do to reduce gun violence without violating each other’s 2nd amendment rights? The 2nd amendment gives people the right to keep and bears arms; should not be infringed upon. Everyone deserves to feel safe from gun violence; consequently, we must hold individual citizens accountable for their actions if they choose to carry a firearm.

This shift in who we chose as our audience really affected our project the most, because it changed our perspective to overall gun control to gun safety, and more importantly gun safety around children. Narrowing our viewpoint like this really helped our argument, because it allowed us to be more concise in what we said, and the way in which we presented our argument. For example, we know that a lot of our

We live in the world, in which every person has his/her opinion towards a topic. People debate deeply on topics such as abortion, gun control/safety, and marriage equality.

In my house guns are always hidden or locked up in a safe, only Dad knows the combination, so no intruder can get to them. Guns are a very serious item. I was raised to understand guns are not something to joke around about; if they are
