2. Which aspects of the report are more persuasive? Why do you think so?

Gun ownership is still an ongoing debate between the democrats and republicans on who should own a gun and for what purpose. It is also a point of discussion whether the ownership of guns leads to a rise in the crime rate or whether limited access to guns results in reduced crime. One of the arguments that I found more persuasive is the fact that both democrats and republicans agree that guns should not be given to individuals who are mentally ill. This will result in a reduced crime rate or mass shootings. The two parties also agree that guns should not be given to people who have been barred from on-fly and currently on the watch list. It is a proper way to reduce the crime rate as people on the watchlist are dangerous and can do anything. Additionally, a background check on the sellers of guns is key to ensure the sellers are authorized and have the right information regarding buyers. The arguments in the writeup are factual and statistics show that both parties agree equally or almost equally. Arriving at such a consensus is important in order to move the bill not to let out guns to the individuals and groups in question.

On causes of violence, the republicans are open to teachers carrying guns to school while the democrats still believe that that could be a trigger to violence and a cause of mass shooting. They are also against the option of a short-term gun waiting period. I agree with the democrats on not allowing teachers to carry guns as they deal with large populations and in case of triggers, it is easy for the teacher to engage in mass shootings. This point is more persuasive and of benefit to those who are at risk of becoming victims of unnecessary gun shootings
