LaPierre Claims, Strategies, Etc


Claims

  • Having armed security in schools will prevent a lot of deaths.
  • People who speak against the NRA do not know anything about guns and preach false information to get people to agree with them.
Strategies
  • LaPierre uses a lot of pathos to tap into the readers emotions.
  • He uses his position as the NRA Executive Vice President as a way to establish ethos so his audience will believe him more.
Strengths
  • He spoke on the topic as soon as it was appropriate.
  • What he wanted to portray was very clear and concise.
Weaknesses
  • He assumes to much about what his audience/ people who oppose the guns might think.
  • Over exaggerates certain statements to try and get his point across.
  • His argument is based on analogy.
