Gun Violence in America – A Tri‐Vector Model
By: Jeffrey Taxman
America was born with having guns. In the past 20 years, we have seen more and more mass shootings as the people who committed the crimes are targeting to hurt people. The shooters were not related in any shape or form. The majority of the shooters are related to the location they committed the crimes.
The author goes into 4 main points and has his own summary at the end. The author, Jeffrey Taxman, who is a doctor from Wisconsin. I kinda trust this author because he has evidence to backup what he wrote but he’s a doctor, not a writer. The main idea is pretty much mass shootings within the past years. The strengths he has are facts and quotes he uses. I don’t see any weaknesses. …show more content…
The most deadly shooting in America's history. The shooter was a 64 year old named Stephen Paddock. He was to have 18-20 guns in his hotel room at the time. There are more than 16 times more shootings in America than Germany.
Goes from the shooting in Las Vegas to the shootings that happened in America compared to other countries and politics. The author, Ishaan Tharoor, writes for Washington Post and has written a lot of articles. I believe him because a lot of his articles are about what is going on in today's world with violence and politics. Main idea of this article is how outrageous this is and how it should be changed. The strengths are that it's relevant, and brings up a good point that gun control is political. Weaknesses is to have more facts and points about the shootings.
As I said in the previous personal response, there are more and more shootings that are happening and I will probably remember this one the most because I was just on twitter while this was happening and was spending hours to know what happened and stuff like that. I think it’s crazy how he had so many guns with him and how his girlfriend that lived with him never knew he had so
