Guns :)

The first website I have chosen to look at is the pro gun website http://gunssavelives.net/about-this-site/. This website is set up to give its readers up to date news based on second amendment rights, self defence and all news involving firearms. It largely focuses on the 'Carry' laws. The website gets over 3,00,000 views every month making it a very popular website.

The second website is the Anti-Gun violence website http://csgv.org. This website doesn't focus on banning guns completely but does look to try and put an end to the unnecessary amount of gun violence that happens in America. They focus on the propaganda of the NRA and aim to take a more democratic approach in trying to reach their aim.

I strongly agree that the main issue with guns is the unnecessary violence that they seem to endure. This could be put down the the amount of states that allow concealed (and even open) carry of a fire arm. The first website clearly has the view that if everyone is allowed to carry a gun on their persons, no one will try and shoot or harm another. This view is one that I strongly disagree with because someone can feel threatened without actually being threatened, which could be a ground to shoot at someone. I wouldn't go as far as banning guns completely, as Americans have that strong view that it is their right to 'bear arms' and I agree that having guns to hunt with is fine. But having the right to have a deadly weapon on your persons at all time and having the power to kill/harm someone who may or may not be wanting to harm you seems too far. They are giving people the freedom to protect themselves in certain situations yet are taking away peoples freedom of not living in fear that if they do something that someone may seem as threatening ( such as running down the street towards someone, with say headphones in so that they cannot hear 'warning's therefore get shot by a 'threatened' person' just seems wrong.
