Gun Control

Growing up in Texas especially in a small town there not that much to do around town but their three things we love do here to have fun. First there is football in general, if you haven't noticed in Texas football outshines all the other sports here there's just something about this season that gets people hype when its starts up. Secondly there's alcohol, here in Texas that's what we do after a game or per game we going to need a couple of drinks. Most of us has probably been to a tailgate before or even went out to a bar but the point is we love alcohol.In finally we love our guns wheel of going hunting doing target practice and etc. . . Here in Texas majority of us owns a firearm or maybe even carry one on them. I want to talk about gun control I found this very interesting to have a discussion with my classmates about this particular topic that's has America questioning what should we do about this problem. Over a couple years gun violent has been getting a lot of buzz with all the shootouts that's happening across the nation. I figured that this will bring a lot of controversy between my classmates on how we can handle this, yes everyone's entitled to their own opinions so the question still stands should people be allowed to carry firearms or own? In the reason why I ask this question is because more people are being killed by these weapons. Society is not making this a huge problem because it happened so many times that it is almost natural that something this terrible happens daily.

 Leaving class heading to the student center to give me something to drink, I looked upon my phone and notice a shocking video that went viral on Instagram. I wanted to know more about the situation and  what was going on, an article from Holly Yan “ This mom's son died in the California massacre, but she doesn't want your thoughts and prayers” posted on CNN. Shows a woman name Susan Orfanos who is fed up gun violence after losing her son in a massacre in California bar, I chose this article because earlier I asked a question what should we do about this specific problem. Even though in Texas this don't usually happen but for the people who don't come from our culture. How do we face this problem that's happening across the country just because it don't happened here a lot doesn't mean it's not happening somewhere else. I learned that  we need actually to face this problem so won't lose anymore lives and the government needs to find new ways to pervert this from happening even more.

The article talks about a young man name Telemachus Orfanos a Navy veteran who was caught in a massacre at a bar in California. He told his mother Susan Orfanos, he’ll be going out with some friends in will be back later that night Telemachus did not come home last night. Orfanos’ mother is fed up with gun violence in says “ I don't want prayers. I don’t want thoughts. I want gun control, and I hope to God nobody else sends me anymore prayers. I want gun control.  No more guns.” Susan Orfanos has the internet talking about this situation now but United States politicians said "it's not the appropriate time to discuss gun control. Some say it's too early or too disrespectful to the families of the victims". But Susan Orfanos couldn't disagree more. People are our wondering why this is happening a lot but no one really taking this seriously; Instead of looking away from the problem face it head on, So no one else has to go through this again.

This article is persuasive piece This article is a persuasive piece, throughout the article there was no informative motive in the texts at all no facts or numbers just specifically persuasive on how the reader should feel an act on the topic by using emotionally strings to get our attention on the topic. First the author guitar attention by stating that Telemachus Orfanos was a veteran secondly using his mother emotional so we'll feel bad about the situation and finally using  politics to get people talking about it.
