I'm writing a pursuasive paper! Need good sources!

[HKMP5SD6]

Hello all, I am a sophomore in high school and I am writing a paper arguing against gun control (Not "we shouldn't have gun control", but the incoherent flaws of it) I need some good web sites from all you experienced people. Remember, I only need sites that argue against gun control. They have to be respectable and reputable. Thanks.

My advice is to go about this from the other direction. By looking for RKBA sites, when you turn your paper in, if your teacher is an anti, she will mark you down for using "propoganda sites that have no basis in fact" Your better off looking for neutral sites and off-line places for your info. Or, waht I would suggest doing is going to anti sites and picking apart there arguments using facts from independent sources in the real world.

No, my teacher is rather open-minded when it comes to guns, so I don't have to worry about that. I just need reputable sources.

HKMP5SD6 -- try www.i2i.org the Independence Institute has good research and position papers about RKBA and other freedom-related issues. www.keepandbeararms.org has loads of material www.gunowners.org yet more material, and a women's section. www.mediaresearch.org in their archives are details of media bias Re: firearms. www.nfa.ca has Canada's perspective.

Be sure to use all the links on these sites, some are hostile, but you need the info!

Best one page argument I've seen is the Libertarian Party's platform statement on RKBA:
http://www.lp.org/issues/gun-rights.html

Good section on the "fallacy of prohibition".
