Final Exam APA paper

Discussion Paper on Benefits and Or Negative Factors of Restrictive Gun Control

You will produce a three-page paper with three peer-reviewed journal articles cited. The journal articles must be used to prove or disprove your thoughts and opinions. 

See the Attached How-To guide for APA and follow the sections precisely.

You will need a cover page, abstract, body/content pages, and referee page. You will list the word count as instructed in the How-To guide. 

Section One: The introduction section should/could include information regarding how many guns are in America, second amendment rights, etc. 

The following section: the overview section should include topic ideas such as if the U.S gun homicide rate is as high as claimed and are these causes for alarm? Are there other countries with the same number of firearms, and how do they compare?

 Section Two: Possible persuasive topics- How often do gun owners prevent crimes, how often are people killed by their own guns? Did the federal ban on assault weapons affect crime? Do states with strict gun laws have less gun violence? Why and has American public opinion shifted on gun control?

 With a Pro or Con format in mind, you will produce a paper explaining some of the above points of interest bringing in your opinion on what you would do with the current state of our county and the approaching gun regulations. How would you regulate or change the laws if any to slow down the gun violence in America?

As yourself these questions:

Do gun regulations and regulations work. How would they work? What needs to be implemented to create laws that work? Address some of the questions presented in section two above and apply them towards your philosophy on how you would lower gun violence in the U.S. 

Use stats from GOV and a local city with gun issues and peer-reviewed journal articles for APA articles.

This paper MUST be turned in on campus in person at the final exam times posted.
