Identification of Five Issues on Gun Control
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing five of the issues on gun control. Issues on gun control range from those which are concerned with constitutional rights and the values of citizens to those which relate to the types of policy, if any, which should be in place. Opponents of gun control, including the most influential National Rifle Association (NRA) argue that the constitutional “right to bear arms” is an absolute right and should have no limitations. In addition, the NRA has a large amount of funding and a large membership which allows them to purchase large political support; another issue of contention for those fighting for gun control. Those supporting gun control vary in their arguments as well. Some interpret that the Second Amendment’s “right to bear arms” was only meant to allow for a state’s right to arm militia in times of governmental corruption. Some in support of gun control support a limited control which focuses on laws meant to restrict ownership to dangerous persons or end the ownership of automatic or assault weapons while others wish to control all gun ownership among all citizens. Issues include identification of propositions in dispute.

In the Defense of Abortion: Pro-Choice
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper presenting the weaknesses in the pro-life argument against abortion and the strengths and rights presented in the case of those for pro-choice. In the arguments presented by pro-lifers in regards to their opposition to abortion, there has been found to be inconsistent reasoning behind their definitions of morality, medical ethics, responsibility, fetus viability and the idea of “preservation of life”. The weaknesses in the pro-life arguments are considered one of the many inconsistencies which exist within society today in regards to the abortion debate. Advocates of pro-choice in regards to abortion have found that women’s decisions to have abortions are actually based on their basic human right to choose what happens to them and their bodies, obviously, but also in their basic rights to health, their responsibilities toward their unborn child and their families, the medical communities ethical responsibility to preserving the health of women, and their right to life considered above that of their unborn children.
