Photo and cartoon of gun control

The first picture is a photo of a women holding a poster that is advocating gun control after Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook was an elementary school shooting where 20 children were killed. The women in the picture looks upset so we can guess that maybe she lost a child or knew one that was killed. It also looks the the picture could have been taken at a protest for gun control because you can see other people in the background.


The second picture is a cartoon that is also advocating gun control. There is a chalkboard with the United States on it and it shows the amount of school shootings that have happened in the past 18 months. There is a student at his desk with his head down so he looks very upset about the number of shootings that have happened.





Both the picture and the cartoon are advocating gun control because of school shootings. While the picture connects why there should be gun control to a specific school shooting, the cartoon looks at the bigger picture and examines the number of school shootings there have been in such a short time. Both of these images have someone in it who looks upset which tries to touch on the emotional side how heartbreaking a shooting at a school can be. Although one touches on a very specific event ad the other much more general they are both trying to get to the same goal of gun control.
