Near the end of his column, Jacoby begins to grow desperate for support. This is illustrated in paragraph eight. He brings up the topic of gun control and speaks more or less against gun control fanatics in this paragraph. I feel that this was an attempt to sway gun owners to his argument, and conversely, this issue has no place within this column. In addition, he closes his column by saying that the Puritans sanctions in relation to punishment were humiliating and painful, but quick and cheap. Maybe we should adopt a few. I find it humorous that he feels quick and cheap are foremost qualities that punishment should adhere to.

In conclusion, I felt that this column was written as a piece of trickery. It was devised to fool average people into agreement. I also felt that anyone with mild intelligence and critical reasoning skills could easily punch an incalculable number of holes in his arguments. So, did he achieve his goal? I believe that this piece of writing could easily win over half of the U.S population, but that doesn t speak well for his writing necessarily. If I haven t made it obvious enough, I disliked this column, and hope he can be more sly next time.
