(SWA 3/17) Virtual Peer Review

Based on the reading of Ben Sorensen's object description, his sculpture is trying to convey the message that gun control should be severely relaxed in the United States. It is going to represent this point as there is much controversy to gun control in the U. S. and valid points to both sides of the argument. The intended audience is the young people such as us who may be just starting to develop our views on the topic of gun control and are thus the most susceptible to persuasion. The object definitely reminds me of the fact that I agree with Ben entirely that gun control needs to be more relaxed, especially here in California. Whenever I think about firearms here in California, I get really frustrated because as a law abiding citizen I should be able to obtain more firearms more easily. Compared to the rest of the country, California is one of the strictest when it comes to gun laws. These laws hinder or fully prohibit me from obtaining fully tactical weaponry that I would use to defend the people I care about or sporting/leisure enjoyment.
