Current Event #1 :Gun Control

            This Op-ed by Jonathan Swinton called "Gun access and mental health: We can do better" is written by a therapist who thinks he can help eliminate gun violence not all at once but a step at a time. He gives evidence that most deaths by gun are suicide and how be has had personal experiences with patients that have had suicidal thoughts but also own a gun. This op-ed is very informative because people don't normally think the same way as this man or in that manner and it gives the reader a bigger perspective on the issue of gun violence and how in many cases mental health is part of the problem.

  1. Good job summarizing, explained the article with great detail. The analysis could've been in a bit more detail as well. Next time make sure to tie this in with other sources for a better analysis. Overall good job though
