Pro Gun and Anti Gun Websites

Pro gun control website:
http://www.ceasefireusa.org/blog
 This websites providing blogs and opinions on the mass shooting that so frequently take place throughout the United States. The names of some of these blogs clearly state the views of the author on gun control: "We want safer schools" and "We not accept this 'routine'", the second being a response to Obama's speech after the Oregon shooting.

The name of this website also clearly states what the aim of the website is, to try and create awareness of gun violence and attempt to try and bring an end to the tragedies we so often hear about. Furthermore, the slogan of this website, "empowering state advocates to save lives", sends a clear message about what this group are trying to achieve, the key term in this slogan being "to save lives". The creators of this website are clearly pro-gun control as they want to see an end to these tragedies and to see and implementation of stricter gun controls. 

This website also contains a page solely dedicated to explaining what this group are doing to help create awareness of gun violence and what members of the public can do to help bring abut change. This group, like Obama are clearly very angry and frustrated by these frequent mass killings and want to bring and end to it, a view that I share.

Anti gun control website:
http://gunssavelives.net/
This anti-control website outlines stories of how having a gun has saved people in potentially life threatening situations, for example, "gun saves woman being raped" and "gun saves couple from intruder". The site also contains a database that outlines these stories throughout all the states and for each state there are multiple examples of how guns have been an advantage for some people. The map found on the website also illustrates the sheer number of cases where an individual has been saved in a certain situation.

Even the title of the website explains what the site is all about. They are trying to convince those who are sceptical guns that they are a good idea. The people who made this website are of the impression that more guns in the country will make an overall safer place to live.
