We Should Have Stricter Gun Control
This debate will cover whether or not we should have stricter gun control. For the first round, we will set up the perimeters and definitions. We should not have arguments/points/etc. in the first round, only introductions. From the second round onwards, we shall flesh out our arguments. Gun control would be considered as how easy it is to attain guns (meaning eligibility and sales), how strict the regulation on concealed weapons is, and how much power our government should have in terms of r...
It is more sane and wise to support *some* gun control.
Burden of proof shared. DEFINITIONS: "Gun" actually is a stand in for "arms" in the 2nd Amendment. "Gun control," therefore means some limitation to the arms that may be owned by private citizens....
Gun Laws / Control in the United States
Welcome. I do not think there should be restrictions on Guns. Now, let me make a clear point here. I'm talking about guns, not deadly weapons ex. Nuclear Bombs or Missiles. I believe that the gun control in the US is unnecessary and nonproductive. I am glad to find someone to debate me over this topic in which I feel very strongly about, and welcome you and you're beliefs honorably. So, here we go. Gun control and laws are wrong....
Gun control
You might be asking, am I going to start a gun control debate every time there is a horrible massacre? Maybe so. Because every time I see reports of mass murders and massacres, we all pretend to feel bad about it and we all pretend that we think mass murders are horrible things, but then we go on with our lives and don't do anything at all to prevent more mass murders. Is that not the definition of insanity? Today, in Alabama, a faculty member opened fire and killed at least 3 people because...
Recent and past shootings are not a gun control problem but a problem of society and the individuals
In light of the recent shootings in Oregon and Connecticut, the media and anti-second amendment proponents have tended to spin these tragedies in a manor that reflects the issue of gun control in the United States. This debate is to determine if gun control is the main problem and should be highlighted or if the powers that be are ignoring other more important issues to propel their anit-gun campaigns. I will be taking the side stating there are much bigger issues involved in this and that g...
Gun Control
First round is acceptance followed by one round of giving your best case the opponent must prove that there should be gun control while I prove that there shouldn't be....
Effective gun control is a good thing.
Here I will further define the mechanism in which an opponent in this debate has to work. This house believes that a system of effective gun control, is a good thing. Further clauses: Gun control would be the illegalization of every form of firearms, bought by civilians or obtained otherwise. Effective would mean that it is no longer legally possible to obtain guns and much more pressure is put on the illegal sale/owning of a firearm. Exceptions would be the police force in the area (The Un...
Gun control
I personally believe that every person within the US has enough responsibility to own a gun and to not abuse this privilege. Without these weapons, many people would feel insecure within their homes. Additionally, if we were to take guns away from our citizens, the use of illegal, and unregistered guns would drastically increase. Therefore allowing our citizens to own guns is immensely important....
Gun control
The use of Gun control is against the second amendment, whereas it states; "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. " (As told by ucla.edu) I will prove my case through two main ideals; Security and Safety First, I will discuss why security is a contributing factor to a nations welfare. If, during war time, the United states was invaded, it would be required for a civil defence, t...
The US Should Have Better Gun Control
I believe that the lack of gun control in the Unites States is a serious danger to the public, in nations with full gun control the homicide rate, armed robbery rate, and suicide rates are much lower. First Round is for acceptance Second Round is for initial arguments & rebuttals Third Round is for further arguments & rebuttals Fourth Round is final rebuttals & concluding statements only, no new arguments...
