  1. I think she is saying that if we don't do something about the gun laws, more people can get hurt or killed.she does not want anyone to struggle how she is struggling right now. The story is using pathos , logos, and ethos.(Jessica and Karissa).

  2. The things she says about what happened in Arizona makes her a good voice for helping with the control of guns for people with mental illnesses. She is using pathos because she has sympathy and shows it for the things that have happened due to gun violence

  3. My opinion regarding gun control is that GUNS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED ... The message she is giving us is that she is practically saying that we have not even felt fear yet unless we were in the positions of the victims that were in " The Sandy Hook Elementry School " . Her past expirences make her a good voice . She is using ethos and pathos because she is using emotions in her writing and she is appealing based on herself .

  8. She thinks it is very bad and that lots of accidents happen with guns and that you can go anywhere and gets guns. That guns should not be sold everywhere. Yes she sets an example and even though she got shot she is still fighting for it. I think it shows pathos and logos.

  14. My opinion on this article is that more people should watch out for who there selling guns to, and do background check and not let people who have illnesses or mental problems have them. The message she's sending is that not everybody should be aloud to have guns and standards should be very high if you are trying to buy a gun. Her experience is what supports her in her gun argument and helps her argument. In this article she is using ethos.

  17. I believe that that guns should be allowed in. Laws should be enforced more strictly when purchases are being made. I think there will be less murders because the ring people won't be able to get there hands on a weapon so easily.

  19. I believe that guns should be sold to people that want them. If they have a criminal record than that's how you know not to sell it to them.

  20. She thinks that only people that have a license for a gun so no one that wants to hurt someone gets a gun because after she got shot in the head and survived and that's why I think she has the right to do that to save people lives

  23. I thin she's right the laws should be enforced more and they should have to go through mental tests and background checks before being able to purchase weapons. That guns are ok it's just bigger laws should be inforced.

  24. I believe that that she is right on saying what she is saying. Guns are being used in a very inappropriate way. People and children are being killed everywhere because of the bad usage of guns. She's giving the message of its okay to have a gun for self protection but never give a bad usage to it. Yes she is a good advisor because she has experienced what it is like. Sheiks using pathos and ethos cause she is showing how she feels

  25. I I believe that she is right because some criminals would use it and not in the right way but also other people would try to smuggle it in the country and it would make more crime happen. She is giving a message that criminals that have bin caught with a gun. Also she has a good experience with gun control because she was shot at point blank.

  26. She is using her own personal problems. There are a lot of problems with guns. Her message is that guns should be control with background checks. She is a good person to count on. She is using pathos because she used the Holocaust.

  27. I believe people should license to a gun so people don't get hurt. After she was shot in the head and survived she realized she can probably prevent this type of thing from happening again. She used pathos because she used quotes what the kids say.

  28. She wants to have a safe and better community. She wants people who have guns be licensed to have a the rights to keep there guns and not be arrested. Save more lives.

  29. We should all have the right to bare arms. The message that she is giving is we should all have the right to have guns but only a certain amount and only be able to buy them in certain places. She is the right person to be complaining about gun control because of her experience of being shot and trying to recover from it. She uses pathos by using quotes that the kids at Sandy Hook said.

  30. I believe that guns should be sold to people who have no criminal background, and should be given to schools all over the United States of America!
    She is trying to tell the readers that unresponcable people shouldn't have guns.
    Her experience makes a strong impact on people all over the U.S.A.
    Pathos and Logos.

    The message she's giving is saying that guns aren't toys

    This makes her a good voice because she experienced guns

    She is using logos as a speech

  32. She is right about people getting background checks and licenses for firearms because if a gun gets into the wrong hands many bad things can happen. The messages she is giving us the readers is guns are going to end in the wrong hands for the wrong reasons .yes I think she has a good voice about gun control because she was lucky to survive a bullet to the head and it shows that guns have very bad affects to good people. She is a logos because its a proven fact the people will get hurt for the wrong reasons

  33. I like what they had to say because it is true. We should have background checks on gun control so weapons like that don't get into the wrong hands.
