Argumentative Essay – Gun Ban

1) What is the topic you have chosen for your persuasive essay?
Gun Ban
2) Begin thinking about the different issues associated with the topic you have selected, narrow your focus, and take a pro or con position for the subject of your essay. Present a simple statement of your position here. Example statement: Same-sex marriage should be legalized.

Every U.S. citizen SHOULD protect their right to bear arms.

3) Give rationale for that stance. (50-100 words. Avoid using emotional reasoning and focus on facts and evidence to help support you rationale)?

If people look into the history of the world, they will find multiple instances when a Government has taken away the public’s right to bear arms, and each situation has ended in thousands (at the very least) into the multimillions (estimated 11 million in the Holocaust) being overpowered and killed. With the uneducated stance against guns, that most people are taking now in the U.S., clarification is needed more than ever because if we let our Government take our weapons then we are letting history repeat itself, and we have yet to learn anything from the many that have lost their lives before us.
