Write a research paper discussing whether gun control is necessary? Why or why not?Thesis/Claim: Take a stand for or against an action or idea (a statement that can be argued or challenged). Your thesis statement should introduce your subject and state your opinion about that subject.
Audience: For whom are you writing? Take your audience into consideration as you write your essay. It is your audience that determines your tone, diction, and evidence that you choose.
Evidence: Choose evidence (facts, statistics, statements from authorities, and examples or personal stories) that supports your thesis statement. Evidence is probably the most important factor in writing an argument essay. Without solid evidence, your essay is nothing more than opinion; with it, your essay can be powerful and persuasive.
Organization: Organize your research paper so that if presents your position as effectively as possible. By the conclusion of your essay, you want your audience to agree with you. Make it easy for readers to follow your logical progression.
Counterargument: Take the opposing side into consideration. Presenting only your side of the argument leaves half the story untold―the opposition’s half. If you acknowledge that there are opposing arguments and answer them, it will make your argument stronger.

Check to make sure that your paper demonstrates ethos (ethics), and a good balance between logos (logic) and pathos(emotion).
Conclusion: Your paper should have a strong ending. Restate your thesis in a fresh way. Keep it simple, but reiterate your main idea or point. This is also the best place to pose an important question, or to illicit a call for action.
