Gun Control Argument Analysis

Being an International student, American politics never seemed to interest or bother me. However, after taking this class, it has gotten me thinking about the various policies and proposals by the various candidates in this upcoming election. The main topic that developed my interest in politics was the response 1 on Gun control. I never knew what the second Amendment meant until I took this class. With the recent shootings that’s happening all over US, the issue on gun control has become an open subject to debate on. Being assigned this topic made me more familiar with the events that has been happening in the real world. With the unfortunate events of San Bernardino shooting and the recent UCLA shooting, it has gotten me thinking about whether there is a need for a change in the second Amendment or not. Furthermore, the humorous videos by Jim Jeffrie and John Oliver and numerous informative memes has only enhanced my interest regarding this topic. I also found it to be very interesting on how Australia dealt with this similar issue by taking away people’s gun even though it had been governed by a conservative party that went against its own belief. Moreover, with Bernie Sanders hosting a rally at UC Davis, I was very keen in listening to what he was saying. I never thought I would go to such an event.
