Research on the Gun Control Debate

Professor Louise and Carla have shared some great resources, a lot of them comprehensive in terms of the history of the gun control debate, the statistics, the key political figures and the main arguments. I’ll post the articles I’ve found so far that present a different/ fresh/ insane point of view.

“Hitler Joins Gun Control Debate, but History is in Dispute” by Adam Geller http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/23/hitler-gun-control_n_2939511.html
“Gun Control Debate Creating New Jobs” http://fox59.com/2013/03/25/gun-control-debate-creating-new-jobs/#axzz2ObtpsbEG
“A Chance to Seize on Gun Control” by Ruth Marcus

“Ethical Problems of Mass Murder Coverage in the Mass Media” by Clayton Cramer http://www.claytoncramer.com/scholarly/JMME2.htm

I hope you enjoy these. As far as I’m concerned, Ruth Marcus made the best impression but Geller’s article gets the entertainment award.
Keep looking for an update of the same post.

The inspiration for the title of this post comes from the way I’m feeling and from reading a couple of classmates’ blogs, Michell Wolfarth’s and Bonnie Cook’s namely.

It’s good to know I’m not alone…

I feel like we’re going through a Boot Camp. SCAD wants to destroy us as designers to rebuild us stronger, faster and designerer (I’m quoting myself here from my own reply to Bonnie’s post. I couldn’t resist. I thought ‘designerer’ was particularly witty).

I have to say, I’m actually enjoying the experience but I’m dreading the PTSD that’s to come.
