The debates about gun control seem to be growing each passing day as there are more and more accidents linked to it. These accidents leave us with a couple of main questions:
"Is it the fault of these lose rules that these accidents are becoming almost common?" and
"Should guns be illegal in households?"
The article in:http://www.policymic.com/articles/35123/gun-control-debate-will-you-preserve-your-right-to-bear-arms deals with this issue.
They suggest "many have realized that government is becoming too big and too powerful" because they seem to think the government is "after another one of your rights; your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms." These lines suggest the writer is not necessarily the most government-loving person and it also gives away the fact he is HIGHLY against making changes in the gun laws.
Later on, he points out how the democrats are trying to pass on a "common sense" gun legislation and how even if they have the House of Senate and the White house, the Republicans have gotten control of House of Representatives hinting is a republican.
At the end of the article, it is said "The gun debate is not over, nor is it new, in the United States. We
should think about the principles that our country was founded on before
we give up our liberty." which proves this article in a way is very emotionally driven and might not be the most objective, as bearing a gun (as most people would think) is not one of "fundamental rights" nor is it "our liberty."
Through these points we can see this article might be biased as it seems to be very anti-Democrat, thus some might suspect not very trustworthy or rational.
Good job Nisa.
