I have found that anti gun propaganda is much more fact based then pro gun propaganda. The image above is trying to show that the fact of the matter is that guns are used to kill people so less guns, less deaths. This decision is important because our safety is on the line. It would be ideal if people didn’t need guns to have to defend themselves and the fact was that there is no gun violence, but unfortunately we live in a society where we need to decide which is right. What I find even more puzzling is why those two things aren’t on the same side. I personally don’t know if I lean more towards innocent citizens being vulnerable and defenseless or more towards facts and statistics. I would much rather depend on myself or some one who I deeply trust to defend my close ones.įrom the anti gun propaganda that I have seen, they like to use statistics of gun related deaths. Me, not being a parent, find the need to protect something or someone with a gun. I personally find this image very powerful. It is showing that guns can be very useful for protecting you children. Here is an other example of pro gun propaganda. By the criminal smiling, this shows that he likes that the innocent people aren’t able to protect themselves. The criminal’s smile also makes the propaganda stronger. In the image above, when I look at this I feel defenseless and concerned for my safety. I personally find the propaganda that portrays the average citizen being weak and defenseless more powerful. Much of the propaganda advocates for guns being used for defense compared to propaganda that shows gun death compared to death caused by other things. They portray law-abiding citizens as weak and defenseless. In many ways it targets their opponents that don’t agree with more lenient gun use. I find it interesting that many of the pro gun propaganda shows it in comparison with stricter gun laws. They brought out emotions in me like humor, shock, and everything in-between. Recently, I have been looking at gun propaganda and I am over all pretty impressed in people’s ability to express their views of guns in such a creative way.
