Issues Paper

This is a very stressful paper that seems to be hanging over my head 24/7. It feels like it is never going to go away. I am arguing against gun control but am not really sure where to take my paper mainly because the gun laws where I live, and where I grew up have completely different views... I have never written a paper that was more than 5 pages long and am not really sure how to go about doing a paper of this magnitute. Once again, my life will be muuuuuch better once I tame this beast...
