Anti-gun control (http://pinkpistols.org/?q=node/4):
This website is aimed towards LGBT people and it provides
information on why someone from a sexual minority should have a gun, as well as
information on where in the USA they have chapters of their group. This website
states; “The more
people know that members of our community may be armed, the less likely they
will be to single us out for attack. Join us today. It is your RIGHT.”
This shows that the main reason for the creation of this website is to promote
the idea that if LGBT individuals are carrying guns then those that wish to
harm them will be less likely to target them. It also suggests that if some
LGBT individuals are carrying a concealed weapon those that wish to hurt them
won’t know which individuals are carrying and which are not so they will be
less likely to attack anyone just in case.
One of the main focuses of this website is to provide a place
where people who want to arm themselves can go to find out about Pink Pistol
groups in their area where they can learn about gun safety, how to get a gun,
gun laws in their state, and how to shoot.
This group isn’t heavily involved with any specific political
party, but they do promote certain candidates if they feel they promote LGBT
rights and their rights to own weapons. They are also not associated with the
NRA, and are classed as an activists association.
This website states how it is wrong that you can take so long
to be checked to see if you can own a gun to then be denied the right to. Thus,
suggesting they are anti-gun control to some extent.
Pro- gun control (http://www.bradycampaign.org/)
:
This website aim is to change people’s perspective of guns
and provide people with the right information on the risks of having a gun in
the home, as well as this it also aims to influence and change gun laws to
increase the background checks needed for someone to purchase and own a gun.
They also aim to hold the gun industry accountable for gun injuries and deaths,
such as changing companies so that they have better rules in place so they do
not sell guns to dangerous people. I personally feel that this is a better
approach than the previous website, which wanted to reduce the background
checks so potentially more dangerous people could own guns.
