Analyzing Van Fleisher's Final Notice

In “Confessions of a Liberal Gun Owner” by Justin Cronin, he uses logos, ethos, and pathos to discuss the pros and cons on the much debated topic of gun laws and ownership. His intent is to inform the readers of his view on the topic and why he appreciates and accepts gun usage.

\The right to bear clubs is a biting satire by Dave Barry in which he employs satire and many of its techniques to stealthily poke fun at heated topic of gun ownership and regulation in the United States. Berry seems to be targeting the governments poor handling of the gun crisis by using a “Ballistic Driver” golf club as an allegory for a firearm while bringing up arguments used for and against firearms. The audience for this particular work is relatively broad considering most everyone has an opinion on the topic, yet the reader could interpret the satire to be either for against Americans’ right to bear arms. Just reading along the surface, Barry’s work could easily appear to lean towards firearm possession but after reading deeper and picking up on the more

Woods’ novel raises questions about the effects gun violence has on communities, which leads into how it can have negative mental effects on children, and how more laws should be passed for the expansion of

Throughout the book, the target reader would likely continue to be infuriated. He/she would likely feel outraged as he/she learns that many “facts” about guns are really lies. He/she would also likely feel outraged when he/she discovers the times that a gun could have saved someone. For example, college student Amanda Collins had a concealed-carry license, but she was not allowed to take her gun with her to college; she “was brutally raped inside a parking garage, less than one hundred feet from campus authorities” (102). Rape is a very heinous and horrific crime, and any sane person would want to reduce the possibility of that crime occurring. Through Beck’s use of pathos, Beck incites anger and concern in his target readers and encourages them to strongly oppose gun control.

Gun violence has been a massive issue through the modern age of humanity and has created a sense of division regarding the solution to this epidemic. In Adam Gopnik’s essay “Shootings”, Gopnik addresses the issue of gun violence and demands a change in American government policy to prevent the tragic killings of innocent lives. Gopnik harnesses the tool of emotion and passion to drive his essay. In Charles Cooke’s essay “Gun Control Dishonesty”, Cooke takes the polar opposite of Gopnik’s approach by utilizing factual evidence to prove the futility of gun control.

Control Moment” by Jonathan S. Tobin, he believes that all these events will not be the start of another gun-control

The book that I have chosen to be taken into consideration for next years preface program is “Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America” by Adam Winkler. Winkler is a professor of constitutional law at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has been featured on CNN, in the New

The author was clear about the reason to ban assault weapons like the kind use in the killing of the twenty six people – primarily young children – in Newton. He claims that the reason why the government has fail to ban this weapon is because of the organization called “National Rifle Association” of America (NRA). He claims that the power of the NRA has weaken the politician who will not pass a sensible ban on assault weapons. I believed that the author was not happy to what happen to the children that died in Newtown and she was speaking for the parent of the children that died in Newtown. The example he use in this article is a good example for supporting Gun Control Law in America. But I still believe that he could have given us more information on why the Government are weak to The National Rifle Association? And what kind of power do the NRA have over the Government.

For over 50 years the NRA has been the most controversial and well noted example of an adamant, unwavering, organized, voice as it has arguably inflicted more influence in lobbying efforts than any other special interest group represented in the nation’s capital. Originally founded in 1871, the NRA originated just 6 years after the civil war and just 3 years after the 14th amendment. After just enduring the bloodiest battle in our nation’s history The 14th amendment (1868) granted states the right to further extend the protections available for individual possession of arms. A law of this measure did hold rightful ground, given the climate in reconstruction era America. As an individual right to bear arms would naturally be in higher demand following such a conflict. The NRA was founded to protect the granted rights and to represent a portion of individuals who held these rights dearest. As the essay states “The NRA, as always, speaks for all gun-owners, with respect to the Second Amendment” (Alstyne 5). While it is within our constitutional boundaries to have special interests represented, the NRA has long outgrown its original somewhat transparent roots. Like most

He is talking about how the National Rifle Association rarely talks about the National Firearms act because the two basically contradict each other. The evidence he gave was quite clear and still objective. “Limits on gun ownership, such as registration and background checks, that the N.R.A. regularly insists will lead to the demise of the Second Amendment”. It was quite difficult to determine whether he was being opinionated or not. Can you really determine if that is the main reason that the National Rifle Association rarely talks about the National Firearms Act. Alan later describes that the main goal of gun control is gun confiscation. He also made room for certain discussion on stolen weapons and gun theft. If purchasing a National Firearms Act weapon, you have to pass a F.B.I background check, pay a $200 tax fee, and approved by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. The article then cites Jeff Folloder, the executive director of the N.F.A. Trade and Collectors

To provide social commentary regarding the dismal, yet realistic possibility of government surveillance, a human’s capacity for violence, and loss of self, James Dashner creates a futuristic society in which children are under manipulation through supervision. In The Maze Runner, children are stripped from everything they have. This includes materialistic possessions, family, friends, and their memory of all of those things. The teenagers’ reality is living in an experiment and fighting for their lives by the result of a disease. In the world today, there are are a plethora of diseases, but even with advanced medical technology, a lot remain incurable. The Maze Runner presents a possible outcome of a terribly contagious disease. James Dashner uses social commentary to explain the negative aspects of a world which the government is almost in complete control.

Second Amendment rights must be the most controversial section of the Constitution, it most definitely has to be the most challenged. Lawsuits have been brought up against the Second Amendment for many years, challenging whether or not it should still be a part of the Constitution, and the meaning behind the verbiage used. The anti-gun crowd has attempted multiple times to prove the Second Amendment should apply only to a militia and that the average citizen has no right to own a firearm. The National Rifle Association (NRA) is the largest lobbyist group for pro-gun rights and one of the most powerful interest groups in politics today. They have successfully supported the defense of the peoples’ right to own firearms for many years. After many years of failing to accomplish their agenda, the anti-gun crowd has a new tactic: instead of facing the multimillion members of the NRA (Statistic Brain Research Institute, 2014) they are now going after the gun manufacturers and dealers. They cannot stop the sale of guns therefore they want to eliminate the source. This paper will identify the historical foundation of the Second Amendment, describe the National Rifle Association’s involvement, and site the legal precedence and challenges.

Via was the process of obtaining power hubris is developed. The power is realized it will leave to the feeling untouchable. I agree with that statement because he appeared on the tonight show and was bluntly asked about his fall from grace by Jay Leno. Power corrupts because people in position of power are not often accountable for their actions,and therefore free to behave in excess.It will occur at virtually every level where power is given to one person over another because the head of states or virtually anywhere in the long chain of our legal system starting with attorney.The animal soul which was driving ones physical body or physical existence was frequently at odds with the godly altrustic soul.I prove that he held the key and the wall

Wilson in his book does a good job of informing the readers of the key issues of gun control, and some of the flaws in the debates and needs to be done in order to progress in this area. I feel as though Wilson did a great job in discussing the topics mentioned so far, I agree that these issues need to be addressed. And in the near future many changes should occur.

In the past year, I am sure that you have heard about the issue of gun control. Well, do you really know the full story behind the debate? My goal for this essay is to fully explain everything to you behind this issue and why it is such a big deal in our world today. There are many different problems behind why gun control is such a big issue in the world today, and why some people want gun control and others do not. Through these contrasting opinions on gun control, the world will never fully decide what is completely right.
