The NRA is generally known as a main political force and America’s leading defender of second amendment rights, and the highest firearms education organization in the world. One tab in the website displays programs for firearm education. Another tab reveals politics and legalization defending second amendment rights.

The NGVAC is against guns. They teach the public about the prevalence of gun violence in the US that results in the tens of thousands of gun homicides, genocides and suicides, and gun connected deaths each year. This cost taxpayers billions of tax dollars each year. The NGVAC shows why gun violence is a complete result of current gun laws. They are against the NRA, they have a tab which shows a NRA puppet of the week. They also have a counterintuitive gun laws tab.
The NRA has a women interest tab which displays women shooting clinics awards and scholarships and how not to be a victim of a vehement crime. The NRA portrays women as the guardian of themselves and their …show more content…

NRA uses Logos in their gun laws tab which states truths about gun laws.
NRA uses Ethos by listing authority companies that have trustworthiness such as Henry Rifles and Mossberg Gun Company, as well as Smith and Wesson.
NRA uses Pathos by stating that women can defend themselves, and not become a victim by defending themselves with a firearm.

NGVAC uses Logos by listing counterintuitive gun facts.
NGVAC uses Ethos by criticizing the character of people who are against their beliefs: such as the NRA puppet of the month.
NGVAC uses Pathos by their conduct of the law-abiding citizen blog which uses stories to stir emotions to push for tighter gun control laws.

I don’t think they are reliable site because they are biased in the information that they both portray. They also try to sway the audience by “cherry-picking” on the issue to try and sale their

The political cartoon, “What’s the Next Play Going to Be?” by John Knott for the Dallas Morning News published October 28th, 1933, portrays a football team huddled together with “NRA” written on the back of their pants. The field goal in the back has a sign that reads, “’Nobody’s goin to tell us how to run our business,’” (Knott 2) and the opposing team is standing in front of the goal in tackling stances with angry looks on their faces. The men huddled in the group are slouched over as if they are defeated and don’t have a strategy to continue while the team in the back look ready to attack and finish the game. Knott’s cartoon demonstrates the opposition between businesses and the NRA, which was established by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933

The article, "America's Unique Gun Violence Problem," by Michel Martin considers that though there is more support for gun control in America, "the NRA's power comes from a lot of single issue pro-gun voters because they're very intense…" (Martin). This intensity is a major reason for the lack of success against anti-gun control parties such as the NRA being that most constituents of the NRA are very active in the voting and political process. Thus, when it comes down to it laws are being passed in the NRA's favor usually because at the voting stand NRA support is much higher than those advocating for gun control laws. In order to see a change, support for gun control has not increased, but rather its supporters have been more active in the voting process and at the political

Using pathos, logos, and ethos the author of this article, Alex Weiss, wrote about how ridiculous a Dutch Supreme Court ruling was about stealing virtual items in a video game. Pathos is a method of writing that includes the author’s emotions, feelings, and opinions towards a matter. It is usually used to persuade others into believing what the author is trying to say. Logos is a type of writing that deals with the logic behind it. Stating cold hard facts is a great way to show logos in one’s writing, for logos does not allow any emotion or opinions in its writing.

Ethos is an appeal to ethics, which basically is persuasion through credibility and facts. In the con, the victim’s own ethics are used against him to make it seem like he is part of the con. Pathos is an appeal to emotion. The use of pathos, according to YourDictionary, “creates an emotional response to convince the audience.” In the con, the victims emotions are put into play.

The article states, “Gun control deters violent crime as well as the death penalty” (Hunter). The author uses logos here to point out that gun control is an ineffective as the death penalty when it comes to preventing violence. This supports his argument against strict gun control because, according to Hunter, many Liberals claim to oppose the death penalty because it does little to prevent future crime, yet Liberals are for strict gun control. However, strict gun control isn’t going to prevent criminals from committing crimes, because criminals do not follow the law

They have a thorough mission statement that declares, “ATF is a law enforcement agency in the United States’ Department of Justice that protects our communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, the illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson and bombings, acts of terrorism, and the illegal diversion of alcohol and tobacco products,” (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, n.d.). They work with many leaders, such as the police, to ensure our country stays safe (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, n.d.). There are also various interest groups involved in the social policy. For gun control, there are Americans for the Protection of Children Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Gun Owners of America, Gun Sense, National Rifle Association, and National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, who either are for or against stricter gun control laws.

The article does in fact close with a statement that challenges others to think differently. The sentence “[...] the N.R.A. was no longer the voice of law-abiding gun owners, but rather a voice for criminals” (Berlow 4) is the one that does just that. The article is relatively eloquent by returning to key pieces mentioned earlier in the editorial at the end of it. Lastly, the conclusion certainly unifies Berlow’s argument. He states outright that the N.R.A. is a voice for criminals which signifies that it is a corrupt organization.

The Brady campaign's main goal is to end gun violence by changing the laws, changing the industry, and changing the culture (Brady, 2024). In the sense of institutional change, the gun control movement aims to enact policy reform that promotes stricter gun laws. The Brady campaign aims to make institutional changes by passing “common-sense laws” that would ideally limit gun ownership by dangerous people (Brady, 2024). The gun control movement works to pass laws at the local, state, and national levels (Brady, 2024; Everytown for Gun Safety, 2024; Guns Down America, 2024; Moms Demand Action, 2024). Additionally, the gun control movement has started to target the banking sector.

Some days crime rates are up and then the next they are down, what we do know is that America is becoming safer. In 2005, 11,346 persons were killed by firearm violence 477,040 persons were victims of a crime committed with a firearm, (National Institute of Justice). Surprisingly, a lot of gun violence in America is related to self defense. Between 1987 and 1990 it was found that guns were used in defense during a crime incident 64,615 times annually. This equates to two times out of 1,000 incidents (0.2%) that occurred in this time frame.

Majority of the people who oppose gun control believe that it violates the Second Amendment. The Revere Journal says that “In terms of the substance of the Second Amendment, the notion of a militia has no practical meaning today relative to what that term meant in the late 18th century. We are long past the days when farmers left the fields to become de facto soldiers, or when posses were rounded up to chase outlaws, or when settlers were on their own in a hostile environment. Some pretend that a lifestyle that no longer exists still has meaning in the America of the 21st century.” The people that agree on needing strict gun control laws will find a stronger connection to this image compared to the people who oppose

Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Many believe this, but columnist Nicholas Kristof, author of “Our Blind Spot about Guns,” published in 2014 in the New York Times, disagrees. A rhetorical analysis should consist of: logos, pathos, and ethos. Kristof’s use of logos is strong due to the amount of facts and statistics he offers to his audience, but he fails to strongly use pathos and ethos, due to the lack of these elements Kristof’s argument is weakened.

Design Journal Criterion A Introduction: My global cause is on the impacts of gun control in the world (primarily the U.S.). The reason I chose this case is because of the past yearly (2014-2016) protests and debates that don 't seem to have definite solutions at the best. The problem overall is the idea of control of firearms. There are pros and cons to that I see for gun control itself and I believe that there is a big problem with how it’s presented in our country: People get shot, take away the guns.
