Essay Instructions:

Please write a STRONG devils advocate with resources. Thanks!
Can $50 million neutralize the NRA? 
I believe that $50 million will not neutralize the NRA. I believe the NRA is too strong and they already spend millions yearly to lobby and promote the Second Amendment (the right to bear arms). I appreciate Bloomberg’s concern for the general public safety but I believe he should stay out of this issue. I believe it is every individual’s own right if they decide to protect themselves with the use of guns. I believe his $50 million will just go to waste because the NRA has too many connections with politicians and Congress. They have power in numbers over him.
Gun control is a subject matter that can not be dealt with in a black or white matter. The same strict gun laws that succeed in one area will not work for a different geographic location. Gun laws need to be tailored to each geographic area due to the variations of socioeconomic status, geographic landscape, and access to weapons from an underground market. 
Case examples are Australia and Chicago, IL. Australia has had stringent gun laws since 1996 and it has been a success. There has been a dramatic decrease in gun crimes since then (Sterbenz, 2015). Chicago also has stringent gun laws yet there continues to be high rates of gun crimes (Crain’s Chicago Business, 2015).

The issue about the Second Amendment has generated heated debates from policy makers, academics, and the general public in in the United States. Indeed, the issue has polarized the country with both supporters and critics citing the Second Amendment to back their argument on the right to bear and keep guns. Amendment II is enshrined in the Bill of Rights of the United States and it protects the Americans’ right to keep and bear arms. According to Cogan 2015 (p. 247), the Second Amendment states that "well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." The ambiguity contained in this Amendment on whether it is the militia or the Americans who are allowed to own guns as created differing opinions.
The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is one of the strongest advocates for the Americans’ gun rights. However, the rece...
