Bridget's feedback:

"It's sobering to read this essay over two decades after Glaberson's article appeared. As you move forward, you will need to decide how to continue working with this topic: either create a frame that places your discussion in a historical context or update the information. In either case, if you can incorporate statistics regarding the sides of the debate, you can amplify the urgency and the paper's sense of purpose.

I notice paragraphs 2 and 3 are currently very detailed and information-dense presentations. Consider more paragraphing (re: para. 3) or streamlining the existing paragraph structure and content at the prose level (para. 2). Some streamlining strategies could be as simple as using the professors' last names (not their titles) to keep things moving and tidy (para. 2); other tasks will be determining more efficient phrasing ("Also the right may never be taken away...," para. 2, might be revised as "Strong groups like the NRA continue to block changes") and making local revisions.

Regarding para. 3, consider at least separating the concluding discussion and shaping it into its own concluding paragraph. This helps with pacing, flow, and reader comprehension."
