Gun Control Position Paper and use of executive orders.

Today we will begin working on a position paper regarding gun control policy and executive power. You will write this paper using Google Drive and will be having your paper edited by at least two peers. Here is a link to the assignment. We will be spending Tuesday and Wednesday in the computer lab to work on this.

I have posted some links under "Gun Control Policy Links" below. These have information about some of the various proposals and President Obama's gun control objectives outlined last year's. These will help you get started.
