2nd Amendment vs. Gun control law By: Peyton Mills 3rd block class Gun control speech Larry Craig (R) Idaho
Where it took place • On June 6, 2000, Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) gave a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Senator Craig, an NRA Board Member, defends the Second Amendment, criticizes those who would restrict our rights.
The speech • The speech was about Larry Craig defending that people should have the right to bear arms and how these laws are helping not hurting the U.S.A and that having this right isn’t just for hunters its also for the people who have the right to defend themselves if an intruder comes on the property and is posing a threat to the owners.
The Author • Larry Craig a NRA (National Rifle Association) Board Member. • (R-Idaho) • His stance on the ordeal is that people should have the right to defend there selves when criminals are causing a threat to them. • His point of view is that the government should allow people the right to bear arms. • His call to action was when the government was considering not allowing people to use there 2nd amendment the right to bear arms.

My reaction to the speech • I think the speech was effective because I would want to be able to defend myself if I had an intruder come into my house. • It was effective to me because the 2nd amendment means a free state cannot exist, our free state of the United States collectively, cannot exist without the right of the people to defend themselves. It makes sense not only am I a big time deer, duck, turkey whatever I enjoy hunting but it isn’t just for people like me. I to want to be able to protect my self in my own home without worrying if someone intruded into my house. This is why I think this speech was effective to me.
