In her latest post, Ms. Hausmann dissected the ongoing gun-control problems that have plagued our country and other parts of the world, making points on the founding fathers and how we have interpreted the amendment stating that we have the “right to bear arms”, which she describes as being a part of “America’s Backbone”. Although most of Hausmann’s post was unbiased, it did seem that she was in favor of guns being available to the public after the appropriate measures are taken, as opposed to guns being controlled by the government. Towards the end of her argument, she states that “The amendments were created to give us permanent rights and freedoms, and now people want to take them away?” As I said before, Hausmann is somewhat biased towards guns being available to the public, but she also raises an excellent point; in any other instance, we would just love to say that our constitution is the absolute source of authority in the country. However, when the government feels that something doesn’t need to be brought before the eyes of the constitution, it will stay obscure, as the gun-control problem has. Hausmann brings up another strong argument (in my opinion) for guns to be available to the public; although guns are indeed dangerous, guns themselves don’t kill people, people kill people. Hausmann also argues that making guns inaccessible to the public will only cause more deaths than before; without other means to defend against criminals and muggers, innocents will be unable to protect themselves.
I think that although her post included some biased views on gun-control, it also made a strong case for her views with facts, showing that Ms. Hausmann can defend her views with facts instead of personal experiences or supposed facts.
