Gun control

The first website I have chosen is http://www.largo.org/welcome.html - Lawful And Responsible Gun Owners. Their aim is to show that it is often ordinary, law-abiding citizens who own guns to protect themselves, their motto ‘Good people, doing good things’. There is an interesting section on Child Safety which advocates the Eddie Eagle training programme by the NRA. This aims to educate children on what to do if they find a gun – Stop, Don’t Touch, Leave the area, Tell an adult.
The second website is http://ncgv.org/ - North Carolinians against gun violence. This organisation works to make communities safer by reducing gun violence, enforcing current gun laws and trying to gain support for even stronger controls. The site has some figures regarding gun crime which are quite shocking, such as 1000 people killed by guns in a year in the State.
Whilst I found the LARGO site slightly more convincing as guns seems to be unavoidable in the United States maybe it is better to educate people on how to handle them, the NCGV site makes a strong case for tighter controls.
