Gun control laws should have been changed after the Aurora, Colorado shooting. The article that I found that talks about this problem is titled "Views on Gun Laws Unchanged after Aurora Shooting." This article is persuading because it gives a lot of statistics on what the people and the government thought about the gun laws before and after the shooting in Colorado, and the numbers are not that much different at all. The purpose of this article is to ensure that the people know how little percentages went up after the shooting in Aurora. The gun law states that they regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition. And some U.S. states have created assault weapon bans that are similar to the expired federal assault weapons ban. But obviously it isn't working if James Holmes was able to carry a semiautomatic rifle, a .223-caliber assault-style rifle with a 100-round drum magazine, and a two .40-caliber glock handguns and a 12-gauge Remington Model 870 pump shotgun. Also the gun law states that they regulate the sale of ammunition. How was James Holmes able to get more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition? .
The author believes that gun laws should have changed more dramatically after the Aurora, Colorado shooting. Some of the main reasons these changes should have been instilled are that in April 2012 45% were gun control ownership and 49% were protect rights to own guns then after the shooting in July it was 47% gun control ownership and 46 protect rights to own guns. So this shows that people's opinions barely changed after the shooting in Colorado. This information is very effective to the audience because it is telling them that there really is no change in what they think the gun control laws should be, and how it should change because if it did change there would be no shootings maybe at all or very slim. This article is multisided because the author is telling both sides of the argument but is emphasizing his side of it.
