Gun Control Article Analysis
, about the gun control and the use of gun in mass shootings have gone up in the years. When Omar Mateen entered an Orlando, Florida, nightclub on Sunday June 12, 2016, to carry out the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, he wielded a weapon that has been used in massacres from California to Connecticut: a military-inspired semi-automatic rifle the AR-15 rifles.
The NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation) estimates there are roughly 5 million to 10 million AR-15 rifles owned in the United States, a fraction of the 300 million firearms owned by Americans. Most owners say they use the rifle for target shooting and home defense, although they can also be used for hunting as well by a big portion of rifle owners in the country.
Despite their controversial reputation, assault rifles do not often turn up at murder scenes. Handguns accounted for at least 48 percent of all murders between 2010 and 2014, according to FBI data, while …show more content…
rifles - a category that includes more traditional types of long guns - accounted for 2.4 percent. Roughly four times as many people were killed by knives in that period. Still, in the wake of the Orlando shooting several Democratic politicians said Congress should renew a ban on assault-style weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines that was in place between 1994 and 2004. The prevalence of these firearms has made them a focal point in the debate over U.S. gun laws as opponents say civilians should not own what they describe as "weapons of war." Backers say they are simply modern rifles enjoyed by millions of law-abiding Americans.
Though so-called assault rifles account for a small fraction of the United States' 30,000 annual gun deaths, they have been used in at least 10 mass shootings since 2011, according to a database compiled by Mother Jones magazine.
The main idea of the article is the emphasis on the use on regulation of gun control on the American public, because unfortunately American was attacked by another attack of terror on American soil, with another mass shooting, this one to be one of the most brutal killings in modern US history.
I do not think it would be a good ideal in my opinion to take away American citizens right to bear firearms, It seems to me in would play in the terrorist hands to get the government to unarm thousands if not millions of people. The people of isis plan for months on how they will hurt people around the world and the outcomes to follow. It’s a scary thought to think of how far these people would go to spread hate. But unfortunately gun are there to protect use not just by the US military but by and good hearted
citizen. The article uses mostly objective description to talk and describe the facts about the tragic event that is fresh to all that are directly affected, and hurt as a citizen to these great states of America. The strengths of the writing are the power of the moment knowing how things unfold, and the passion in peoples hearts to want to help with supports or prayers. It captures a lot of emotion in the article that truly hurts to be in that position that is hard to imagine the events.
