Too cool.... make sure you post a copy of the final product when you are done. (That is if you don't mind openly posting your work) I would be interested in reading it and also hearing the grade you get and any points deducted or rebuttle anyone has.

Would a trumpet sound different if you weren't holding it at all? Like if it were suspended with zero support?

From a physics standpoint, yes. The question really becomes, would the human ear be able to percieve that difference? No. The only thing that may be perceive is a slight variation in tone quality.

What's the class? What type of paper? What format? Cited references? How long? These all come into play as to how you will address the information in the paper and many times what pieces of information you want to address.

How about preserving liberty? I think you could argue that without ready access to firearms by the general population the birth of the United States may never have happened. If it had not been for the USA then the French Revolution may never have happened. It just keeps going from there…

A second example would be the unwillingness of Japan to consider invading the west coast due to the armed population (among many other factors).

So what you are saying is, the only war the French won on their own was the one against themselves?

Well, the over all aim is how the presence of firearms benefits society as a whole right? So your main topics of hunting and CCW are really just things that also benefit society, but wouldn't be possible without firearms. Have I got a good understanding of your angle so far?

Yep your right on target I'm just trying to illustrate the benefits of firearms to society and CCW/Hunting are my two main points to discuss thus far

Don't present the Japan thing without verifiable facts to back it up though. I see people say that a lot, but I think only one time I've seen a quote from someone in the Japanese military saying something that hints at that being one of the reasons (no offense of course esaabye).

Also, you may want to consider presenting the argument (if you believe it) that you are really writing about the benefits of a force equalizer, and if something more effective than guns came along, you'd support that as well.

Honestly I think that is a great Idea because I actually use that exact wording in my intro.. the only thing is that we had to pick an arguable topic to defend and I think I lose that aspect by the force equalizer wording
