I found this article to be very interesting in that it immediately asks readers to listen before making too many assumptions about gun control. I personally believe major improvements should be made to our gun laws. The article titled " Gun Owner are talking about Gun Control. Stop an Listen" irritated me at first. As if people would not be willing to listen about reform, as if kids and citizens across the country haven't had to struggle for the voice they have finally been granted. Victims and those effected by gun violence have tried tirelessly to have their voices heard and respected as something other than whiny or complacent. Then I paused to think that maybe this article was not going to try to silence these voices but rather offer solutions from the gun-owners themselves. I was pleased to see a shift in perspective as a gun-owner admitted that nobody should own assault rifles. It gave me a sense of hope that a gun-owner understood and admitted that the argument of possession for protection was unnecessary.
