Karios, Gun Control

My topic will be about the gun control laws and my audience is to BYU students and administration.  The kairos, within this community, will be created through the ongoing gun violence debates and upcoming proposals on gun control laws and restrictions.  The interest level has hit its peak since the recent gun related events such as the Virginia Tech shooting, the Aurora Shooting, and the Connecticut school massacre occurred.  I feel like too few people know what exactly gun control consists of.  In addition I will talk about the what is responsible gun ownership.  I feel like once we understand the nature of not only what we can do with guns, but what they do to us, we can better discuss the solutions to the gun violence in the nation. As a former soldier of the military, being a responsible gun owner, and as a common student I hope to educate and persuade more students and faculty to get involved in the decision making process of our nation's laws, by first being informed and then taking action.

  1. I agree, I feel that too many people try to make decisions on gun control when they really don't know that much about guns in the first place. It seems that many people who hate guns or are in favor of gun control, don't understand them and have never used one.

  2. Since it dominates the news for a lot of the topics and with the most recent shooting that's been going on it's certainly a heated issue. People that understand guns and have taken some time to actually look at the figures in nearly all cases see how gun control doesn't stop the violence, but in almost all cases increases it.
