Rosen, Samantha Paige. “Strictly limit gun ownership in U.S.” Philly.com. N.p., 2015. Web. 16 Dec. 2016.
I am a big fan of this website and article. This is one of the first articles in which I have found that I have someone who fairly strongly opposes second amendment rights, and has given me a solid argument in which I can go against. Rosen is very strongly against guns and Americans having their hands on a multitude of different types of guns. I think this article is what I am going to go with in my rogerian argument.
“NRA’s List of Anti-Gunners.” Second Amendment Check. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Dec. 2016.
This is a good website when I am searching for people who have openly spoke out about being against gun rights. I think an issue I might have with this website is that it is by the National Rifle Association so it may show some biased views. However, it will be a good starting point for me to find people who are speaking against my topic.
Samuels, Dorothy. “The Second Amendment Was Never Meant to Protect an Individual’s Right to a Gun – BillMoyers.com.” Moyers and Company . N.p., 4 Dec. 2015. Web. 16 Dec. 2016.
This is another great website which gives me a strong opposing view point for what I am trying to argue my case for. I personally like this website because it uses examples from the supreme court and actually court cases. This article opposes owning fire arms for self defense in the home, which is something that I agree with and stand for so I think that I will easily be able to use some of the ideas from this article to argue my case for second amendment rights.
Jones, Greg. “The Real Reason Americans Oppose Gun Control.” The Federalist. N.p., 06 Jan. 2016. Web. 16 Dec. 2016.
I am a big fan of this article and will most likely use some of its arguments in favor of my own. This argument is in favor of gun rights, which is what I am arguing for, so it will help me in cases where I need to back up my own argument. An issue that I might have with this website is the fact that it is labeled the federalist. This is going to mean it is a fairly conservative website to begin with and may have some biased views. I am going to use this source to show the other side why guns are not such a terrible thing to have and why people are for having them.
