In this New York Times article Erik Eckholm uses mass shootings such as the Columbine, Virginia tech and Sandy Hook shootings to demonstrate the need for stricter gun laws. The writing of this article was sparked by the most recent shooting in Roseburg, Oregon.

Future Legislation Our nation has suffered too much at the hands of dangerous people who use guns to commit acts of violence. I’m not one to think that we can stop every violent act, but if there is anything that we can be done to prevent any of these events we must try, but within reason. Most gun owners are responsible and law-abiding, and they use their guns safely. While no law or set of laws will end gun violence, it is clear that the American people want action, but that action can’t be…

“It shocks us. It always shocks us. Particularly when it happens in the state where we live, the county where we live, the city where we live. . . . We tell one another how horrible it is. Because that’s true, but we’re not surprised. One of the worst things about news like this is that horrible is the new normal [emphasis added].” (McLeigh) School shootings have become the new norm in America. This should not be the case when these tragedies are completely avoidable. According to a recent study…

“Instead, writers such as The Post’s Charles Krauthammer have shifted to an even starker prescription for the endless procession of mass shootings in the United States: Do nothing,” (DeFilippis and Hughes). Writers now are avoiding all of the mass shootings that have been happening. These authors are criticizing other writers because instead of promoting to do something they are not. Although people have the right to firearms in the United States, there should be harsher gun laws. The laws…

1). That is the biggest understatement. Aylmer clearly only has one goal which is to remove that scar at no cost. Georgiana should have not stayed with him. Saying all this, shows that Georgiana did not have a clear, good head on her shoulders. Roseburg claims that, “Georgianna differs from Aylmer not only in the nature of her failure but in her clear-sightedness” (3).

Public Opinion Surveys Public opinion surveys, or polls, are exactly what they sound like; a survey that asks the public their opinion on a topic. Polls are a form of inductive generalization because they gather information from a number of people and generalize their findings to cover the rest of the population. With that said, polls are used specifically for this purpose, which we can see in the media every day. One of the largest problems with the polls we see every day is that the details…
