To be Bias or not to be bias? That is the question.

In the article that I discovered an alternative than allowing teachers to carry weapons on them in the building to help solve gun control, I found evidence of the article being bias. For one thing this article is very opinionated. Its mission is to persuade you to believe in what they are saying. Overall in this article, topics are discussed and stressed in a bias manner.

Examples of bias in this article are of the following: The author states how stun guns are a reasonable punishment and are more safe to be carrying around. With this topic the author's preference is stun guns and is prejudice to guns and the effect guns have. Especially when guns are related to physical and emotional trauma. The article states that trauma is less severe from stun gun action than action made by a firearm.

The author uses key words or phrases in the article that show bias, such as: "would be a far better off alternative surely..." as well as uses words like I, which shows his personal view, and he also discusses the people who oppose. This article definitely is bias.
