The topic I choose was Gun Control and Gun Rights,I don’t know much about this topic but I have heard that this topic can be controversial, since all states have there own laws. The story that I’m going to cover happened recently and is about New Mexico’s Firearm ban. Through all three of the stories, they cover Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham emergency order to ban firearms from being carried in public in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Also, all three talk about the lawmakers, police chief and people from her party not supporting this move. The left source from apnews.com contained other facts that the other two did not. These facts, I realized, were in support for Grisham more than the others, and also they weren’t used nor mentioned by the other two. Also, I wanted to mention the right source from Foxnews.com that also contained other facts that the other two didn’t. In this source though, we instead get more facts that are against the ban, but they dragged the facts that all three have in common.
I feel like foxnews went that direction because from what I’m reading, this order that Grisham passed wasn’t taken lightly at all and many people aren’t with that, including those of her party. Also, with APnews, I feel like they went that direction because they wanted to keep it balanced. I say that because in the beginning they cover all those who are against this move but then in the second half they talk about those who are in support. Both the left and the right used neutral language but the facts they represented were very distinctly pointed out. But also, the right source was a-lot more negative. I can mainly detect bias, though, in the left source mostly, since it represented both bad and good facts.
Gun control is a deeply complex issue in the United States. Some argue that stricter regulations are essential to reduce gun violence, citing the need for universal background checks, waiting periods, and limitations on firearm access. They emphasize the importance of preventing tragedies and protecting public safety. On the other hand, others contend that the Second Amendment grants citizens the right to bear arms, and any attempts at gun control infringe upon those rights, they argue that responsible gun ownership should not be penalized for the actions of a few individuals.
I think finding common ground in this debate will be challenging, but it is essential to address gun violence while respecting individual liberties and upholding the safety of communities.
Hi Jeff, thanks for sharing this. I will be honest in that I am for gun control laws and don’t think that people should be able to carry heavy artillery. It’s interesting how two out of three articles did not include the facts about Grisham’s order to ban firearms. It is likely premeditated in order to obstruct the viewer’s range of left right and center, and instead direct them in the direction that they want them to agree with. I also think it is interesting how the right used more negative language, to persuade readers into frowning upon the Governors emergency order.
