Journal entry: With the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School the subject of gun control has once again been raised to the forefront of discussion. Your task in your first journal assignment is to answer the question "Should guns laws be more strict, less strict or remain he same". To assist in this assignment I have linked a site whose purpose is to provide information on both sides of a controversial subject so you can become aware of the different arguments for each side.

Guns Pro and Con

Here's what you need to do - write a paragraph stating your opinion regarding the subject and provide at least two arguments that support your position and use at least one quote from a credible source to back it up (a credible source is one that is unbiased and is backed up with evidence)

The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

You will have 45 mins to do the research and write-up the response.

You will upload your response to the Google Classroom Folder, and then we will do an in-class activity based on the assignment.
