My first website: 'Death by Gun Control' focuses on the consequences of not owning a gun.

This highly anti-gun control website lists the different stories of shooting incidents and how those who posessed a gun, managed to restrict the number of deaths in various incidents of armed robbery and attempted murder. It also mentions about the incident in Luby's cafeteria where 22 people were mass murdered, due to not one of them owning a gun. Although the articles' various stories are convincing in the assumption that guns will prevent mass homocides. It doesn't denote the possibility that gun's should not be sold in the first place.
My next chose website 'A Case for Gun Control' addressess the issues of owning guns.

This Pro-gun control website questions the motives of the 2nd amendment: 'the right of people to keep and bear arms'. It addresses the limitations of this statement both morally in 'the rights to owning a gun....interfering with public safety' and legally in contricting the 'rights' as just the same as owning heavy arms such as 'nuclear missiles'. This website also debates the issue of using a gun in 'self-defence', how it is possible to 'kill a member of the household...than an intruder'. Overall I feel that this 2nd website is more convincing as it offers a balanced argument that doesn't just inform you of a list of examples but gives weighty evidence to back up its point. The article even offers a proposal for rational gun control.
