gun deaths backs up the reason for more stricter gun laws. 87 people die per day from guns and in 2011 11,346 people died from gun deaths. The laws the allow to require guns need to be more strict when regarding background checks and where you can buy guns. For example preventing people like the two men Adam Lanza and James Holmes who killed innocent adults and children from legally obtaining guns. The laws that regard when it is acceptable to use your gun like stand your ground laws also need to be rewritten so there's no way to abuse this law like it already have been. For example in the Trayvon Martin case.
According to the second amendment “the right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed”. The law abiding republicans believe this law is perfect and helps prevent violence. Republicans argue that you have every right to protect yourself and every right to pass laws to obtain a gun. Each state has their own ability to write and pass gun laws. With this ability it allows laws to be a strict and as loose as they want when it comes to background checks and ‘stand your ground’ laws. All of these gun laws in the eyes of the republican’s are “just fine” and there's no fixing needed.
America as a whole needs to get on the same page when it comes to gun laws. Guns will never not be available to the public. So instead of trying to get rid of the guns, there needs to be strict and concrete laws for the public to follow. I do believe that having tight dr gun laws will all guns to not fall into the hands of those who do not respect guns. The solution is taking basic laws involving background checks and making them become the same intensive and strict background all around the United States. When it comes to the stand you ground laws and protecting yourself they need to clearly state that, a person should not aim to kill and aim only to harm. By allowing the law to only harm people and not go for the kill it can allow for cases like Trayvon Martins to not become a one sided story because Trayvon would be able to speak for himself and be able to tell a jury what happened that night as well. Stopping the publics access to guns in America is impossible but preventing unwanted deaths and murders is possible. 
Kayleen,
ReplyDeleteGreat post, but after the first paragraph, you do not include any more facts to back up your points. Each paragraph should have 3 facts in it, if it is to be professionally convincing.
Your introduction is perfect. You start with a strong tone, list specific shooters, give facts about the number of gun deaths in a recent year - these are the facts that I'm looking for.
Just be sure to include them in your other paragraphs as well to (1) prove you conducted great research and (2) to strengthen your post. Without the facts, this post falls into someone's opinion - instead of a journalistic expose.
Other than that, you have the structure down, your design is clean and professional, and your tone is professional and poised. You've got it all down. Just take some notes when you do the readings and watch the videos to pull out the facts you want to use. Infuse them, and your post will be perfect.
