NO!” published on Zhihu website in 2016 that there is no need for government in America to achieve gun control thoroughly. He emphasizes t
2、hat Americans need guns as protection in case because of inadequate police distributing over America. “If the nearest police station is 45-minutes-ride away your home, what can you do without guns when some bad guy is trying to break into your house?” He said, “Call 911? Or just call for an ambulanc
3、e.” He offers a story of his friend who was attacked at home without guns and his own experience as a gun-taking agent for federation as an illustration. Its understandable to believe Xiangxi argued as above basing on his desire to make response to questioners in the website. Besides, considering hi
4、s job as gun-taking agent for government, it can be assumed that he wanted to express his own ideas about gun control which he thinks are clear enough to help insight this issue.In “The NRA thinks youre stupid” (2017) published on CNN, Michael A. Nutter argues that National Rifle Association(NRA) ha
5、s no sincerity to take action on gun control. He points out that the leaders in NRA chose political distraction instead of real gun safety reform because of the great benefits from guns. According to Michael, the attitude of NRA is not satisfactory because “It is an amazing display of disingenuous a
6、nd cynical political sleight of hand that, the NRA grudgingly agrees that some regulation of these devices is OK.” To support his argument, the author quotes what NRA said to its supporters “it is OK to support some regulation of bump stocks”, and also offers questions both straight and emotional to
7、 challenge NRAs motivation and sincerity. As far as Michaels profession is concerned, a reporter for CNN, it can be assumed that his argument is not only about his thoughts but to gain greater amount of readers as well.In a 2015 article published in Analysis of Social Issues and Public Policy, Wolfg
8、ang Stroebe insists that gun prevalence is positively related to homicide rates. The argument outlines that there is no evidence for a protective effect of gun ownership and contrarily for the unsafe aspect. As what Stroebe suggests in his article, although guns are not a primary determinant for hom
9、icide, their efficacy as murder instruments just makes it easier. The author shows a horrible mass-shooting event first following graph made of data about US household gun ownership rate and homicide rate, which are functioned as an illustration. Then a few other firearm-related deaths related gun-o
10、wnership are provided to further explain the similar influence gun prevalence has. Considering Stroebes identity as the emeritus professor of social psychology at Utrecht University and a senior researcher, who has gain reputations, its reliant to believe he writes this article to make contributions
11、 to the field Social Psychology which he devoted decades to studying. In assay “Unpacking Heat: Dueling Identities and Complex Views on Gun Control among Rural Police” published in Rural Sociology, Rachael A. Woldoff, Robert C. Litchfield and Angela Sycafoose Matthews argue that officers view about
12、gun control varies as their multiple identities change in the life, such as police trying to control dangerous situations with guns they encounter and citizens who desire guns as self-protection. “Officers symbolically rejected the concept of gun control and instead supported individuals gun rights
13、while most of them distanced themselves from gun-related aspects of rural identity”, the authors say. However, authors also point out that when it comes to on-the-job experiences, most of them shows concern about bad influence gun-ownership has on everyday life and also desire to control it. This ar

Also, the testimonies of incumbent police make the argument convincing. Like what the authors write in the article, they want to make supplementary contributions about w
15、hat views rural officers possess on gun control, which is understandable to believe on account of their professions including scholars and officer from FBI. And there is possibility that they want to gain reputations for higher positions in career.RecommendationFor the first article: 1) Unlike most
16、people in China, Liu contradicts gun control in America, which is likely to appeal to people who have similar opinions. They will certainly know more about gun control and may reaffirm their view. And the supporters of gun control may also read this to find mistakes it has. 2) However, basing on lots of experiences of him and his friends, I can feel a tone of subjectivity, though he offers some results of researches supporting the argument. Overall, its trustworth
