In his article, "The Killer Who Supports Gun Control," Nicholas Kristof argues that the best solution to stop mass killings would be to put control on gun violence. He supports his argument by using an opinion from a killer , John Lennon, who states that  ,"without a gun, I would not have killed.” The purpose of this article was to convince people that with more control on guns then there will be less violence because  guns are primarily used for killings, since they ensure that the person will be killed. The audience would be those who are involved in the matter of gun violence.
