Through the use of Roberts-Miller's definition of ingroup/outgroup and demonization, we will evaluate Lapierre's tactics on influencing the public and congress on having armed security in every school throughout the nation. Roberts-Miller's definition of in-group/outgroup is: "demagoguery is polarizing propaganda that motivates members of an ingroup to hate and scapegoat some outgroups" (Roberts-Miller 66) Lapierre refer's to his motives as the "in-group" and uses Congress as the scapegoat or "outgroup" by claiming that they have passed dozens of gun restrictions laws that have had little affect on gun shootings at schools. He brings up the Sandy Hook incident and ask's his audience "will you at least admit it's possible that 26 innocent lives might have been spared" (Lapierre 61) to back up his statement. Lapierre also uses demonization within his text by accusing the mentally ill for being the cause of all gun murders. He asks his audience: "A dozen more killers? A hundred? More? How can we possibly even guess how many, given our nation' s refusal to create an active national database of the mentally ill?" (Lapierre 59). While demonizing the mentally ill, Lapierre shares an irrational plan to put all people with a mental disability in a database for he concludes that all mental people are killers or are capable of being killers.
