The Second Amendment as Argument

This article is neither pro- nor anti-gun. It is neither pro- nor anti-Second Amendment. It does not attempt to solve the gun issue in the US. What it does do is reframe the way we should look at the Second Amendment; not as an emotional issue, not as a liberal v. conservative issue, not as a war of competing anecdotes from media sources. Instead, let’s look at the Second Amendment as an argument. Aristotle adapted syllogistic logic (major premise-minor premise-conclusion) into deductive logic based on the enthymeme, simply a premise-conclusion statement. The enthymeme is thus the rhetorical equivalent of a syllogism. According to Aristotle, if you can show that the premise of an enthymeme is valid (the deductive standard is valid, not right or correct or true or even moral) using various support strategies (such as studies, expert opinions, statistics), then your audience should accept that your conclusion is also valid. <a href="https://brucegatenby.medium.com/the-second-amendment-as-argument-18fa4810c50c">Click Here</a>
