Part 3

Abstract

The article “Ready, Fire, Aim: The College Campus Gun Fight” is about whether guns should be allowed in educational institutes or not. In this article, the author told about two perspectives: one perspective agrees taking guns in colleges, and another opposes it. In this article, the author told that America has two cultures namely robust gun culture and gun-control culture. This article asks the question: “Guns should be banned in college or not?“ In this article, the basic philosophical premise for MoreGuns is that they use a gun for self-defense because anything could happen on a college campus. MoreGuns advocates that students and faculty carry weapons for their protection if something happens they can handle the condition. This article states that many surveys were conducted to know whether the guns should be permitted in the universities or not. BanGuns thinks that campus violence can be controlled by the police or army men.
