This is the website that I have chosen for anti-gun control. The organisation is called 'Woman against gun control' has motto's such as 'If women are disarmed, a rapist will never hear stop or i'll shoot' and even includes the '10 commandments of gun safety'. It even includes a 'hall of shame' for websites that aren't pro gun. I found alot of the anti gun control organisations that are aimed at women really play on the idea of a lone women not being able to protect herself against rapists and burglars if gun control was to come into action. Although i'm anti-gun myself, i can see why the campaigns are quite so successful. By playing on the idea of women being vunerable without a gun, in my opinion women will be vunerable with or without a gun. The campaign appeals to not only women, but also males, who might encourage their partners to get a gun for protection when they aren't around. You can see the point of view of this organisation, in that a womens strength does not match a mans and therefore a gun is the only thing that can rival it, but to me it just doesn't make any sense.
I also found this website quite amusing, just in case you really want to show you're pro gun http://www.armyourcar.com/

Having found this website named and shamed on the previous website for being pro-gun control i felt that it was worth looking at to see what the controversy was about. 'Guns, democracy and freedom' is a name of one of the campaigns on 'Coalition to stop gun violence'. It questions the NRA in its campaign for 'more guns=more freedom' policy and put across the question of whether 30,000 deaths a year is such a small price to guarantee freedom. Unlike the other Anti-gun control websites, CSGV doesn't 'name and shame' pro gun websites, it clearly states out the facts of the slack in gun control. In my opinion its a very strong website, and endorses microchipping, which is something pro-gunners have been very against, to me this doesn't make any sense and why you wouldn't criminals to be caught.
Both websites have very valid views but to me the CSGV just makes more sense. The facts and figures cant be denied. 9 children a day die from gun violence and there are many more you can read about on the CSGV website. The more convincing website to me is CSGV, but this could be because im anti-gun. The facts and figures just add up, on average guns kill or hurt 276 people every day in America, the statistics really speaks for themselves in this case.
