Gun Laws

Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, explains why she is fine with people carrying guns without a license. She supports this hoping that people would use it for self-defense and not for criminal acts. I agree with her because of the saying "guns don't kill people, humans do." Most people who own guns do not have intentions on using them for a criminal act, we would hope. Just because someone has a license for a gun does not mean that they will not use it for criminal acts.

Nikki Haley is using invitational rhetoric to get her opinion across to the public. She is simply presenting her point of view, and allowing others to agree with it. She is not forcing her opinion on anyone, just informing the public of her reasoning.

  1. Good point! Is she also asking for others to participate in the discussion?
