Critical Reading: Getting Deeper into Arguments pg. 110 # 7
Wilson talks about how the National Rifle association and its allies say that "guns don't kill, people kill and how they urge the government to punish more severely people who use guns to commit crimes.Wilson believes that the tougher the prospective sentence,the less likely it will be imposed or imposed swiftly.He also believes that if Wilson states that handgun owners are more likely to shoot themsleves or their loved ones than a criminal.I do agree with Wilson that persons who carry guns unlawfully should be disarmed.I dont agree with Wilson when he says that those who urge us to forbid or severely restrict the sale of gunsignore facts like 2 percent of gun fatalities was the victim mistaken for an intruder and that most gun accidents involve rifles and shotguns, not handguns.The rate of fatal gun accidents have been declining while the level of gun owernship has risen.I do believe that those against guns take these facts into consideration but still believe that guns should be eliminated
