Logos, Ethos, and Pathos Anti-Gun Control
Logos, Ethos, and Pathos, Anti-Gun Control From the founding of our country up until modern times there has been a separation on the beliefs of civilians owning guns. But gun control simply put, is a waste of time. It is highly ineffective in areas that gun control has been enacted in the United States. As well as “Gun Free Zones” being centralized high-target opportunities. (Small areas densely occupied by unarmed and defenseless citizens.) Thus allowing (in the rare instances it occurs like Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech) a shooter a densely filled area of unarmed people to fire upon, causing mass causalities. In such areas the only protection they have are, Police/EMS, or an illegally armed citizen to defend them in case of shootout situation.
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world; they are also in the top percentages of murders, robberies, and gang violence via firearms. If you make it illegal for a law abiding citizen to own a gun, what do criminals care; they’re criminals. They’ll commit crimes no matter what the laws says they can and cannot do. It takes 5 to 8 minutes for Police and other first responders to arrive on scene in a shooting, usually in a standoff leading to a hostage situation and larger loss of life. The average response time of an armed citizen; 13 seconds, to draw, aim, and engage the target. Usually killing or incapacitating the assailant.
