The Second Amendment guarantees American citizens the right to bear arms, but now days gun control is a hot potato in the United States.
In the United States several mass shootings have happened, and therefore some have called for a regulation of the gun law. - But that isn’t just a walk in the park.
Many politicians and civilians in different interest groups support the second amendment and have no intention to agree on a regulation of the guns.
Nick Laure posted a blogpost about the problematic when it comes to guns. The blogpost “Let's Be Honest, Gun Control Opponents” shows that Nick Laure is strongly against guns and tries to destroy the favourite arguments of the gun control opponents.

Uddrag
Nick Laure starts the blogpost very unformal by the sentence “Hello, gun rights advocates!”
(side 1, line 1), and he continues the unformal tone though the whole blogpost so the blogpost appears casual. The way he uses the language, makes it feel like a conversation, and his audience is the gun control opponents.
For an example; He uses interjection to make it more casual; “Oh, and please don’t allow me to forget to touch on one of your favorite arguments, the one that suggests we might as well outlaw all things that could possibly be utilized as weapons.”
(side 3, line 63) But at the same time the language in the blogpost is aggressive, and you aren’t left with any doubt about how he feels about guns.
He accuses the gun control opponents, his imagined audience, of being uncaring and careless for their fellow citizens: “Just admit it. Say it out loud. Your gun rights are more important to you than other people’s lives.” (side 1, line 10)
He claims that the gun control opponents care more about their gun rights, and therefore are willing to turn a blind eye to the fatal consequences of everybody owning guns.
