Jordan Webb - Pro-Gun vs Anti-Gun Control (week 8)


I  believe that guns should be limited in America, and that there should be certain laws put in place to control who is allowed guns, but I do understand why Americans rely on guns in terms of defence, however this could lead to the misuse of guns.

Pro-Guns

The first article you see on this website is showing how someone with a concealed gun saved a police officers life. this shows that this website is highlighting the positives about guns. By looking at the side heading there are many articles concerning restrictions that could have been made is Hillary Clinton had been elected as President, which shows the worry that many have in america over their right to own and carry a gun, and how they fear it being taken away.  This website is made to target those who believe in the freedom of owning and carrying guns and is aimed to protect those rights.

Anti-Gun

This website highlights the dangers of the selling of guns in the USA, especially on the right side of the website where there are statistics on the selling of guns and background checks, showing the lack of laws in place. There are many links to petitions and campaigns to stop gun violence and put in gun laws in America. There is even an article on ways to stop gun violence. This website is a huge contrast to the pro-gun website as it focuses on the issues that guns cause, while the other focuses on the positives of being able to freely have guns for protection.
