Analyzing an argument

1) What is the claim?
A) The main point the writer is trying to make is that gun laws are not enforced enough today, and that there are too many loop holes allowing unfit owners to buy guns.
B) The clearly stated thesis is "Building on existing laws and making them stricter will allow for only those Americans who deserve it to be able to obtain a gun."
2) What support does the writer offer for the claim?
A) One reason she uses is that laws prohibiting certain people to own guns is weak and easily evaded.
A second reason is that there are too many loopholes for private sellers to sell to people without a background check. Another reason is that it is not required for gun owners to store their guns in a safety device.
B) She uses evidence such as facts and statistics from various web sources to support these reasons
C) These reasons are plausible and sufficient
3) How evenhandedly does the writer present the issues?
A) The writer mentions a counter argument when she states "Many believe that enforcing more gun control laws would take away their constitutional right which they then believe is unmoral and unfair"
B) She then addresses this by stating why it is untrue using facts from a credible source.
C) Counter arguments are addressed respectfully
D) Her arguments are appropriately qualified without sweeping generalizations
4) What authorities or sources of outside information does the writer use?
A) Each source is used mainly with no quotations, just paraphrasing.
B) The sources used are credible unbiased websites with facts and statistics.
C) Each source is from 2015 with the exception of one from 2009
5) How does the writer address you as the reader?
A) The writer assumes that the writer somewhat knows what is being discussed because the majority of Americans know that guns exist and than it is illegal for certain people to be buying them.
B) The reader is included in the beginning paragraph when the writer asks you to imagine 30,000 people standing in front of you and that these people are all someone's child, best friend, or maybe even soul mate.
C) I sense that we share some of the same beliefs because I too think that gun laws should be enforced to make our communities safer.
