This link grants access to a website that
argues why controlling the rights of gun owners is a waste of time and will do
little good at preventing one of the most debated issues of safety. It is
stated in the website that the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, should
allow people to keep their guns and that gun laws will defeat the amendments
purpose. Another argument used by the author is that new gun laws will
interfere with American's hobby of hunting. Similarly, the ridiculous point of
accessibility to knives is made and is viewed to be another reason gun laws are
an impractical approach at preventing violence.

Oppositely, this website is pro-gun control. The "Christian Post" published an article using the example of the recent tragic shooting in Colorado to argue their case as to why gun laws must be enforced. They use the issue of pro-life to make their case and that a lack of gun control could prevent ones right to life. Although pro-life is an entirely different issue, their hopes at making a connection between the two topics will cause a reaction amongst gun owners, particularly conservative Christians, who may be persuaded by the guilty conscience effect this may cause.
