The intended audience of the blog is for people who don't think that guns are too easily accessible. In the article the author talks about how people in power are trying to take the attention off of the guns themselves and only outlaw the accessories that make the guns more efficient. The author is trying to persuade people to take a stand against the "lax" gun laws the U.S has. He is also trying to make it known that president Trump is doing nothing to help. Even though less people own guns now days than they did before the author points out that it doesn't change the fact that Americans who have guns stockpile them. It is also pointed out that the shooter from the massacre in Las Vegas had been stockpiling weapons for years with never once being asked what the guns were for. The author feels that In my opinion I don't think that stricter gun laws would make a big difference. Drugs are illegal in the united states and are still bought daily and used in every city in the U.S. The illegal gun trade would also benefit from stricter gun laws.I do feel that it should be looked into to make sure that the laws that are in effect are being abided by. I think it should be harder to get guns however I don't think there should a limit on how many guns you can have. The blogger has good data and facts and is a credible source.
