Writing Homework Help. EDUC 200 Gun Control and Gun Violence Discussion
Hi! How are you doing?
Please pay attention to grammar, sentence structure, and spelling.
There is a national movement to remove guns from those who are deemed mentally ill. There are arguments on both sides. Can you lose your right to bear arms? When do society’s rights outweigh personal rights? We most likely all agree that the persons who have committed the 196 mass shootings this year alone have some sort of mental illness. Prepare a post regarding the research you have found on gun violence and gun control. Make sure you link your sources to your explanations.
