Gun control in America

The websites I chose were the two main gun sites on the internet, the NRA and the Brady campaign against gun use. Both sites were very similar with their layouts both using blogs to let their members discuss the topics. As these websites are members only sites you did not get any debates on the sites but a lot of factual information and praise for the topics being discussed.

The people using the NRA blog appear to be very proud of the association and give thanks to people and other associations helping the NRA out. Whereas the Brady campaign site is still in a battle to win the fight to ban guns altogether, and seem to be trying to find more facts on gun crime to make this happen. The blog categories on the Brady site are all from recent news stories on gun crime and very plain and factual with no images or videos, the NRA site bloggers post plenty or images and videos of moments or things they are proud of.

The website I found most convincing was the Brady campaign site as it was giving reasons why guns should be banned, giving facts and devastating news stories about deaths by gun crime. The NRA website gave lots of information about guns but didn’t say why gun crime shouldn’t be banned? It did show the safety aspects of using a gun on the site, and the law enforcement. I myself have never taken much interest in gun crime in America and don’t have much of an opinion on it as I am not an American citizen, although I am glad guns are banned in the UK.
