Gun control

This pro gun website contains the slogan "saving liberty and lives" this is shown with various articles on gun safety and training. It emphasises the aspect of safety, therefore guns should be used as a method of protection. Also that if you own a gun you know how to use it safely should a situation arise that you would need to use it. The website is covered with videos regarding minor and serious gun related articles which enhances the need for stricter gun control laws across the country. With the increase in gun ownership across the US it is important to have strict controls, especially with the sheer size of the country some more action needs to be put in place. Children under the age of 10 are getting guns as presents, if someone as young as that doesn't know the correct safety protocols then serious accidents can occur. The more guns that are in circulation and the continuation of owning more guns only makes society even more dangerous, therefore more gun controls should be put in place before things get even more out of hand. That being said the amount of gun related incidents we hear on the news in this country about America it's worrying to think about how many unreported incidents occur across the country. This website is pro gun ownership, therefore would not agree with stricter contols being out in place, especially as they have a link on the 2nd amendment so know what rights they have. I don't agree with the slogan that owning guns will save lives, however the American society is very different to ours so for an American they probably would feel more safe owning a gun because almost anyone get a gun so you never know who may be carrying one.

This anti gun website on the other hand has the slogan "it's time for gun sense in America". In some cases they have experienced an incident with guns or just want children and adults to be safer. The website has plenty of campaigns and reports on recent incidents and even have an option to become a gun sense voter so more action can be done as well as raising more awareness politically. In addition to this they have a petition to President Obama telling him that you support him in taking executive action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. These women are making a big difference by taking up such a huge issue, they are gaining more awareness in the hope of reducing the crimes and accidents that involve guns.

The common theme in both arguments is protection and safety but see it in a different light. The anti gun control argument tries to advertise different guns whilst blaming the media for how guns are presented. Whereas the women who are pro gun control are campaigning and making the effort to protect the children from the dangers that coincide with guns. If owning a gun makes you feel safe you have the right to own one, however stricter controls do need to be put in place not only on the general public but with the police as well. The police kill innocent and unarmed men on a regular basis which is constantly reported on the news, every year we have new names of tragedies of innocent often black or Hispanic men in particular being shot. Therefore strict measures need to be considered about gun ownership and its uses.
