Persuasive Research Reports

Fact: There are 260 million guns in the United States.

Use this fact to make an argument for or against gun control.

Fact: There are 12 million immigrants living in the United States illegally.
Use this fact to make an argument for or against deporting immigrants living here illegally to their former country.

See how James Q. Wilson uses this fact about guns in an opinion article in the Los Angles Times by clicking the link below.

Gun control isn't the answer - Los Angeles Times: "...the existence of some 260 million guns (of which perhaps 60 million are handguns) ..."

Write your persuasive research reports.
