For the upcoming issue paper I have decided to write about the gun control argument. After thinking about the topic for a while, I decided on this because I like shooting guns but I realized I didn’t know too much about the issues surrounding the gun control debate. I am hoping to get some good facts and learn more about this issue so I am better informed for the future. I also wanted to do this paper on this topic because I used the same topic for my annotated bibliography and I am hoping that already having done that research, this paper will be a breeze to find sources for. I am not exactly sure how helpful my previous work will be but I am hoping that it makes a difference. The two sides of the argument I am going to be looking at are pretty obvious. One side says that the restrictions we have now are working and are enough to keep people safe while also allowing people to get enjoyment out of guns. Another side says that there should be strict rules for owning a gun and it should be very hard to get a gun, especially hand guns. Handguns are another part to the issue and make the argument more complex and confusing. From what I understand now, people want to make it illegal, like some cities or states have already done, for someone to have possession of a handgun except in their house for protection. There are also some people that don’t want people to have handguns at all including in their houses. I have to do some more thinking about what issue I am going to focus on in order to keep my paper on track and to keep from going of topic. I think I will be able to decide with a little research which part of the issue will work better for this assignment. I think the hardest part of this paper will be representing both sides equally and staying focused. With arguments like this, I think it is easy to get off track and start talking about things that aren’t completely relevant. I am thinking this paper will go well and I hope I get another A like on the past two papers.
