“The Debate on Gun Control: Exploring Both Sides of the Argument”

This second essay will be an argument research paper where you take a stance and argue your points convincingly and fairly. Often, however, we do not know what we know or think about any given controversial topic, which makes it pretty hard to take a stance.
To help you know what you know about both sides of the argument, you will find sources that demonstrate both sides of the argument. The the key word: argumentative or controversial. Your research will give you the opportunity to gather information about the general conversation around the topic. What does one side believe versus the other? How do they support their claims? What research, in effect, is out there? What solutions, if any, do they suggest be used to solve the problem being debated?
It is important that you choose a topic where two people could easily argue differing opinions about the topic. You will be presenting both sides of the argument in this paper.
Your research will come entirely from what you find on the Hinds Academic Databases. You will not be allowed to use any sources from the world wide web (Google or any other search engine). You must gather your information entirely from the databases.
