This website discusses the positives of gun ownership in America and how it helps, as it says on the website, 'saves lives'. It defends the second amendment and the right to defend yourself. It also contains many stories of people that used guns to protect their family from home invasion. ' Gun-Toting Grandpa Defends Wife, Granddaughter From Rapists In NC Home Invasion'. This is called the Self Defense corner of the website. It is so radical as to say that Britain has to endure not having guns for self defense. Implying them as essential for self defense.
Anti-Gun Website - http://www.bradycampaign.org/
This website is massively against guns, gun violence and the sale of guns to dangerous people in America. Not the sale of guns as a whole, but to people with a violent past/ criminal record. Slides on the main page skip between anti-gun protests by the group and stories of tragedy related to gun violence. 'my son will be six years old forever'. The site looks to changing laws, gun culture and the gun industry.
I disagree with the uncontrolled sale of guns in America. There are some laws controlling the sale of pistols in America, an ID and background check. However it just seems ridiculous that i could walk into a gun shop and buy a rifle or a shot-gun without the same background check. Putting firearms into anyone's hands is insane. The uncontrolled sale of guns in the states leads to a lot of accidents, deaths and school shootings that are not that uncommon in America. So many lives are taking by guns every year in America and these stories are no hard to come by. On my anti- gun website there are many stories of people killed by guns, some are as young as 6 years old. There should be a full background check for the sale of any fire arm in America, otherwise you could just be handing over a fully automatic rifle to a murderer, which leads to the gun violence that Americans see so often.
The first website i chose has this view that is shared between the majority of Americans, that guns are needed for safety and protection in your own home. It is not this point i disagree with. A country like America, where guns are some common, it is logical to sell them for protection in your own home. The part that i disagree with is that it is a human right to posses a gun. People with a criminal record or under a certain age, e.g. 21 should not be able to purchase a gun. There should be a full background check first. There is so much tragedy around the uncontrolled sale of guns, be it death or injury that needs to be stopped. Some regulations should be introduced to control the sale of firearms.
