In the article,"American Sniper' widow: Gun control won't protect us," by Taya Kyle argues that gun control will only make innocent people more vulnerable to becoming victims to violence. The author first starts by introducing her personal experience in which her own husband was killed due to gun violence; Kyle then supports her position that guns don't kill, people people kill people by asking a series of rhetorical questions regarding the idea that killing is a choice; and to conclude she persuades the reader by ultimately restating her arguments and describing her final hopes for this country as well as the people. Her overall purpose was to convince the readers that gun control will not prevent murders, only limit our freedom to bear arm, in order to make readers come to the realizations that restrictions can not change those who have that evil, killing mindset. Kyle's target audience is the people in this country who are for gun control because she repeatedly asked a series of questions that successfully make people rethink their viewpoint of gun control.
