Gun Control in America

The first website I have chosen to analyze today is  a website that is Pro-Gun Control, called Pro-Gun Forums, this website also has a post on it, posted in the public forum which contains Dr. Suzanna Hupp's explanation of the second amendment. 
Most posts are signed off with a signature quote, usually similar to this:
""Those who hammer their guns into plows, will plow for those who do not." ― Thomas Jefferson"


The posts on this web page are all pro-guns and the page introduces itself as a page and forum attempting to "Promote, Support & Defend" the second amendment.
It could be said that the people who run this site are not only rallying their support for guns in America, but also defending their rights. Users of the site are digraced that the government could have the right to take away the source of their enjoyment (Hunting, shooting ranges) especially seeing as it was written down so many years ago, that it was fully legal.
Given the current political stance on guns in America, a "current events" page was added to the site, for users to discuss the goings on, and how Obama was going to "take our guns" - but, no one wanted to use it, and the majority of posts remained solely related to guns and the surrounding topics.

Overall, this web page is formally set out, with many forum posts but the conversational tone and sarcasm used in posts littered with smiley faces an emoticons give it a relaxed feel for people who genuinely just enoy using guns for hobbies.


My anti-gun web page, is one that is advertising the Brady Campaign. 
This webpage has a clock in the corner which reads;
People shot in America this year so far; 86,557
People shot in America today; 157 (7.00pm)

These are shocking figures, but considering how large America is, when the public think about how those numbers are spread over the states who still have the Concealed Carry or even Open Carry law in position, the numbers seem more realistic.

This webpage is actively trying to get people involved in their movement, by having quite a few brighter tabs, linked as "LEARN MORE"  "YOU CAN GET INVOLVED TODAY"  "DONATE TO SAVE LIVES TODAY" This can be seen as a determination from the Brady Campaign who are really striving on getting their ideas struck into the public.  The Brady Campaign pride themselves on being "...devoted to creating an America free from gun violence, where all Americans are safe at home, at school, at work, and in our communities."





After examining both sides of the argument, I would personally say I am pro-guns. Only because I believe in what pro-gun websites say when people should be able to protect themselves, in particular cases like Dr.Suzanna Hupp's mentioned in my first paragraph.
(Dr.Suzanna Hupp is a noted survivor of the Luby's Massacre Oct.16, 1991, who later went on to become a Texan Politician in favor of the CC law, or the OC law.)
