PR Casebook 2
The debate on owning a handgun has been an issue discussed among American’s for many years and still continues today. Groups such the NRA (National Rifle Association) have started in defense of the 2nd Amendment, and others such as the Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence funded by Jim Brady, who suffered a traumatic brain injury after during an assassination attempt on President Ronal Reagan.
Think Public Relations says that the NRA doesn’t support criminal background checks, that dealers should stop selling if license has been revoked, and a limit on the sales of assault weapons. Over half of Americans believe that their should be background checks, people should be sold to if their license has been revoked, and there should be a limit on the amount of assault weapons sold. These are all reasons that organizations such as the Brady Campaign exist. The Brady Campaign states that their mission is “to enact and enforce sensible gun laws, regulations, and public policies through grassroots activism, electing public officials who support gun laws, and increasing public awareness of gun violence.”
On the other side the NRA believes in the right of the second amendment, the right to keep and bear arms. They are a nonprofit organization that promotes “firearm competency, safety, and ownership, as well as police training, marksmanship, hunting, and self-defense training in the US.” This shows the polarization of the opinions in America.
If I were to bring together both the Brady Campaign and the NRA I would ask remind them both of the common thing they have in common. The NRA believes that people would be allowed to carry a gun to protect themselves. The Brand Campaign believes there should be regulations on who is allowed to carry a firearm to protect people. They both want to protect, that would be the shared goal I would bring to the table. Both organizations don’t want people to feel endangered and I believe if you would get them to see
