They Say/ I Say

In my search for a writing that contains 'They Say/I Say' i came across a letter written and published in the New York Times as an editorial. The topic is gun control. The original editorial claims that a new bill, the NICS Improvement Act of 2007, has nothing to do with veterans. The rebuttal letter, written by Josh Horwitz, is a perfect example of referring to what others say, then jumping in the argument. Horwitz quotes word for word what was written in a previous editorial then he argues that the editorial he is responding to is incorrect. He has evidence that the new bill was modified in its late stages. With the help of information from a well known organization, the NRA, Horowitz aims to clear the air. It's clear that the purpose of this writing is to correct a flawed argument and reassure veterans that their rights are not being changed.
