At the very beginning of the writing, USA Today bashes gun lobbyists by using a persuasive explanation to describe the passing of the Brady Bill. “The gun lobby got sucker-punched… It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch”, claims USA today. This slanting device bashed the gun lobbyist without any supporting claims to back their slander of the gun lobbyists. The article goes on to explain the length of time it has taken Congress to pass the bill in spite of the American public’s support of the bill. I guess Congress doesn’t pass legislation because of American public’s support. The gun lobbyist’s political intimidation and constitutional reasoning is what is to blame for holding up Congresses decision on the bill, explained USA today. Although we don’t know if there had been internal problems with the bill that the public may not have known about, we assume that gun lobbyists are completely to blame for the hold

Finally in the second to last paragraph the author puts forth suggestions to help get gun violence under control. Supporting their view stated at the beginning of the article, the author hopes to, “…adapt laws that permit gun licensing, gun registration, and firearm training and education”. Explaining to the reader some possible solutions to the gun control problem, gives good support to the authors claim that more gun control is needed. Although in a skeptics view this may be thought of as wishful thinking. To think that such drastic changes in gun control policy could be accomplished may be too much to ask. It took seven years to pass the Brady bill; from Congresses previous record fast actions don’t seem to be in our future.

After bashing the gun lobbyist’s, USA Today goes on to explain that an anti-crime bill was passed that banned nineteen different types of weapons. At this point in the article I’m looking for answers to the gun control issues rather then legislation that has already been passed. USA Today’s view states, “ Waiting periods and weapon bans are welcome controls, but they are just the start of what we need
