  1. Your summary is well especially since you showed your reader the controversy of the Democratic and Republican view of gun control from the article. Also, your analysis is alright but I think you should answer more to the "because", and you added finally twice which may have been an error or not but you should fix that ending. Other than that your topic seems to be specific enough to find a great argument.
