FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
The 1994 assualt weapons ban is the first step "towards legislation leading to the confiscation of millions of private rifles , shotguns, and pistols". |
Americans have owned semiautomatic weapons since 1890 and in 1996 " an estimated twenty to thirty million own the firearms covered the broader definitions of an assualt weapon." |
Since the assualt weapons ban passed in California "an estimated 300,000 law abiding citizens became new criminals." |
Usually gun laws are easy to comply at first like " New York City required rifle owners to register their guns in 1967, later the these lists were used to confiscate assualt weapons." |
Before they assualt weapons ban passed "the FBI Uniform Crime Reports indicated that rifles of all kinds account for only 4% of the nations homicides." |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
The assualt weapons ban was used to ban semi automatic weapons that fire one shot per trigger pull but the bills signers made it seem that they were used by every crminal on the street. Also the ban gave criminals the upper hand against law abding citizens who could not match the firepower the criminals had.Credibility of Source:
The website goal is to defend americans freedom from any political party that wishes to do it harm.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
Yes the site has to try to get people to join their cause.Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
Yes I detect a bias as the author is a gun rights supporter.References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author uses data from the FBI to prove his point on my the assualt weapon ban is a scam.Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I plan to use this data to show why another assualt weapons ban will only hurt the law abding gun owners and the criminals will have little fear of commiting a crime.
