PRO AND ANTI GUN CONTROL

PRO GUN CONTROL

CCRKBA - Citizens Committee for the right to keep and bear arms.

They are a committee who fight to sustain Americans keep and bear arms right, They are not just a committee saying that we should be able to access guns just because it is written in the Constitution as part of our right and freedom but in there mission statement they emphases that their ROLE is to EDUCATE like minded people the importance of the second amendment. By educating the importance of the amendment they define that guns save lives for instance self defense. they ask for donation to help with funds which is used to run ads on the radio and also to print media to gain support from their campaign.There website has been running since 1997 and is still active today.

MISSION STATEMENT
"The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is dedicated to protecting your firearms rights. Our role is to educate grass root activists, the public, legislators and the media. Our programs are designed to help all Americans understand the importance of the Second Amendment and its role in keeping Americans free."

ANTI GUN CONTROL

MAIG - Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

They are an initial group of 15 mayors since 2006 and has developed to more than 725 mayors who are against legal guns in america stating that "30,000 Americans are killed every year as a result of gun violence, destroying families and harming communities." There principles are to: punish any criminals to the extent of the law that poses or traffic illegal guns. Also to Target gun dealers who break the law, also more is accessible on their website.

However i feel that the Citizens Committee For The Right To Bear Arms seems more convincing because there aim is to educate people about that amendment and the right way to interpret it within contrast to the M.A.I.G group who are stating rules and principles on how to punish "criminals " who posses an illegal weapon without educating them the importance and value owning or receiving a firearm means.
