Original Argument: There has been little advancement in the way of national gun control legislation throughout America’s history. With greater attention and determination for gun control by the public and lobbyists in America, approved legislation at the federal level has the potential to greatly reduce the amount of gun-related deaths in the United States.

Argument with more pathos: For the past several decades, there have been numerous, unpredictable mass shootings all across the nation. America has also experienced the constant bombardment of gun violence in crime. Hundreds of thousands of lives are lost every year due to the lack of regulation on gun ownership and licensure. There has been little advancement in the way of national gun control legislation throughout America’s history. With greater attention and determination for gun control by the public and lobbyists in America, approved legislation at the federal level has the potential to greatly reduce the amount of gun-related deaths in the United States.

Argument with more ethos: The issue over gun control has made its resurgence in politics recently. Over the past presidential campaign, one of the many issues at hand was gun control. But of course, the plans of the candidates over the topics are sometimes not met. Gun control is so often debated, yet no one seems to care enough to take action on the national level. If everyone could imagine America with no guns, as a utopia, several different reactions would be developed. Some would think that crime would drop significantly and gun violence wouldn’t be a factor in the mortality rate of Americans. Others would consider their right to defend themselves from people who go beyond the law to attain weapons anyway, and there would be no defense against a tyrannical government. Both are the extremes of the gun control debate. In order for both parties to be satiated and reduce gun violence in the united states is to promote federal legislation that regulates the sale and licensure of weapons.
