After doing secondary research on my topic I can conclude that it remains important to me and still directly relates to not only my self but a lot of my friends. My topic was on whether or not guns should be banned in the US. This is a big political topic in today’s world. With presidential campaigns coming up you hear about my topic more than usual. Guns have been around for hundreds of years and now all of a sudden they are on the brink of going away. I am curious as to why NOW people want to ban guns. Not only is it too late but that goes against the second amendment of being a US citizen. This topic is important to me because I am a gun owner myself. This topic is also important to others simply because it is a freedom that is close to being taken away. Not to mention the safety aspect of guns going away.
The issue within my topic is that it is a political argument. You are either for or against. meeting in the middle is not an option. I think that is the most annoying thing about politics; US citizens pick either democrat or republican. I have some republican view points as well as some democratic view points. So writing about this topic will only cater to one side. I want to effectively discuss my topic without my audience not knowing my pollitical views, only the claim i am making.
Many writers tend to believe that banning gun ownership will end all mass shootings and gun violence; looking closer into gun violence more closely proves that gun owners are not the problem, in fact getting rid of legal gun owners weapons will only leave criminals with their illegally owned guns. It is clear that this is not the way to go about resolving mass shootings. Gun laws are already strict yet criminals still find their way to get their hands on guns.
