Gun control

http://gunowners.org/protect.htm

Above is a link to the, Gun Owners of America (GOA)which  is a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1975 to preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. GOA sees firearms ownership as a freedom issue. GOA has a nationwide network of attorneys in almost every state in the nation to protect gun owner rights. GOA has also worked with members of Congress, state legislators and local citizens.

This website encourages those who feel that their right is being restricted by anti-gun laws, should take a stand and join the ‘no compromise’ campaign. A few things I noticed is that it has a great deal of influence in government, regarding health and safety boards, pro-gun control candidates etc.
‘It raises funds to support the election of pro-gun candidates at all levels of government. GOA has a record of helping pro-gun candidates defeat anti-gunners in hundreds of races across the country, and will continue to do so as long as our supporters provide the necessary financial resources.’
Another key feature of the website is its professionalism, it’s very academic, and provides a lot of information regarding government action in relation to bearing arms. It really emphasises the second amendment and that it is every citizen’s right to bear arms, and how important it is that Government does not take away that right.
The use of emotive language also plays a key role in the support base for the organisation;
‘Strength comes with numbers and the more concerned Americans join Gun Owners of America, the more we can do to protect the Second Amendment and our freedom. We need you! Shouldn't you become a member of Gun Owners of America? Join here.’
Thus makes this website a very professional, effective organisation that due to its large membership and connections with congress/Government makes it believable and appealing to those gun owners, therefore this  has allowed it to become one of the biggest lobbying organisations in America.

The other Website I found that poses the opposite view to bearing arms was this one. Although this website doesn’t specifically suggest that bearing any form or arms should be made illegal, it does suggest a pretty strong opinion on the use of guns being very restricted. Such as;
Making ‘it harder for convicted felons, the dangerously mentally ill, and others like them to get guns in the first place.’
The website puts forward ideas/solutions to moving forward in the crackdown on gun control for example it states;
‘We can do this by passing laws such as requiring Brady criminal background checks on all gun sales; banning military-style assault weapons; and strengthening law enforcement’s efforts to stop the illegal gun market, like limiting the number of guns that can be bought at one time.’

One key area that I noticed about this website it its appeal to safety and more importantly ensuring your family’s safety, The Brady campaign, emphasises the importance of this, again with the use of emotive language to appeal to those who live in fear of the bearing of arms.

‘Thousands upon thousands of people will continue to die and be injured needlessly each year without stronger, sensible gun laws. The Brady Campaign fights for sensible gun laws to protect you, your family and your community.’

In comparison, both websites display a very professional outlook on either point of view, however, America is very divided in its ideas/support for the right to bear arms, thus I feel that the second website poses a much more sensible and realistic approach by promoting restrictions, when tackling the large issue of gun crime which causes so many Americans to question the right for an ordinary American to bear arms.
