I) Introduction:
a. Personal Story: When my sister moved to the city to go to college, she lived in a small apartment in a very bad area of Santo Domingo, after a few months of living there her neighbor got robbed and shot in his own house…
b. Topic: Recently mass shootings and an increase in gun violence in the cities has panicked the population of the United States, and many have decided to blame this violence on guns.
II) Body:
a. Argument: However, do we need to control guns or people? Isn’t banning or limiting gun possession in violation to the second amendment that allows us to keep and bear arms for self-defense?
b.

III) Conclusion:
a. I refuse to be called Pro-gun, because people that agrees with my ideas is not pro gun, but rather pro self-defense, pro self-reliance and pro-freedom.
b. Today, my sister’s neighbor proudly says that he would sleep with his gun under his pillow. We should all have the right to do the same
