In the article, "This Isn't a Gun Situation", written by my fellow classmate Lauren Peterson, she criticizes Donald Trumps approach to the issue of gun control. She effectively portrays both sides of the argument on whether gun control is a mental issue/ people issue, or actually a gun issue. She does this with statistics based on how many deaths occur in other countries due to guns, and points out the fact that, "US leads World death by gun with a outstanding number of 27 deaths/day by guns and the second most are Canada and Greece with a number of 5 deaths/day by guns" (Peterson). " This provides Peterson with credibility and further advances her argument that, "The President of the United States of America, needs to do his job and protect his people from these mentally unstable people whom are buying guns and committing these horrendous terrorist attacks" (Peterson). She also uses current events such as the Las Vegas shooting, and the Sutherland shooting to convince her audience to support her side of the argument. Peterson's article/ commentary is well written, credible, and she is super convincing when it comes to getting her audience to support her side of the argument.
