Gun Control

Order Description
Essay that explains, evaluates, and critiques 3-5 arguments on a controversial topic. Ideally, you would consider both sides of your topic. For example, if abortion were your topic, you should consider at least one argument for the conclusions that abortion is morally wrong and at least one argument for the conclusion that abortion is morally permissible.
In order to explain an argument, I expect you to: i) state the argument in your own words (though, you can selectively use quotes to support your interpretation of the article), and ii) state the argument in standard form. [For example

P1- It is always morally wrong to kill human persons

P2- Abortion is the act of killing a human person

C- Therefore, abortion is morally wrong.]

In order to evaluate an argument, I expect you to:i) state whether the argument is best interpreted as an inductive or a deductive argument, and state your reasons for why you think this. [Remember, you should attempt to interpret the argument in the best light possible; in other words, dont state the argument in an obviously illogical way when it can be formulated in a stronger way.] ii) decide whether the argument is strong/weak or valid/invalid.
Lastly, I want you to critique each argument. What this means is that even if you think that the argument is good, I want you to think about what an opponent of the conclusion might say in response. In general, an opponent of an argument will try to show either that at least one of the arguments premises is false or that the argument is invalid/weak.
