In Adam Winkler's op ed that is called "Why banning assault rifles won't reduce gun violence"(2016), he advocates that eliminating assault weapons will not reduce gun violence. The author first argues that people mistaken the fact that machine guns were used in San Bernardino attack, by counterclaiming that there were no machine weapons involved; he then compares hand guns with firearms by stating that they both contain the same amount of lethality; and to conclude he claims that there are different ways to approach the issue of gun control by suggesting that simple background checks and investigating gun deals would reduce the gun violence. His purpose is to proclaim that gun control laws are not appropriate, in order to resolve and end gun crime and deaths, He seems to have a political audience in mind because he does not agree with laws that will do no affect on the safety of gun violence.
