ASSIGNMENT #10 Illustration
(Due Monday April 28th) 2-weeks
Part I: Make an illustration for the
following topic:
In 2014, America is torn on the
issue of Gun Control. Read
Susan Page, USA TODAY http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/04/22/usa-today-poll-finds-support-for-gun-control-ebbs-backing-for-immigration-bill-strong/2103419/
"Four months after the shooting
rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a USA TODAY Poll finds support for a
new gun-control law ebbing as prospects for passage on Capitol Hill seem to
fade.
Americans are more narrowly divided
on the issue than in recent months, and backing for a bill has slipped below
50%, the poll finds. By 49%-45%, those surveyed favor Congress passing a new
gun-control law. In an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in early April, 55% had
backed a stricter gun law, which was down from 61% in February. Last week in
the Senate, a bipartisan proposal for expanding background checks for gun
buyers failed to win the 60 votes needed."
