Pro At this moment universal background checks are not mandatory in the United States, although many polls show 90% of the public think there should be universal background checks. I will be arguing for the implementation of universal background checks Report this Argument Con oh i toets agree... im guna need a complete list of all your poops from last july till now and ima need you to update it as well Report this Argument
Pro I assume you are satirically referring to universal background checks,and claiming they are an invasion of privacy in a sense but the same way when you get on a plane you sacrifice your right to privacy because of the possible danger you could pose, when you buy a gun you should sacrifice a bit of your privacy in order to keep the public safe. If your argument is that background checks are invasion of privacy then by that logic you are saying that anyone should be able to get on a plane without being searched or having their passport scanned because it is an invasion of privacy. Report this Argument Con nope i just wanna see ya poops ;) Report this Argument
Pro Thought so but you have to admit I made a good argument out of it hahaha! Report this Argument Con fdsaBIG forfeited this round.

This debate is a good example of how to get banned.

Reasons for voting decision: The only reason I disagree with Pro - and I wish I could have been Con, as obviously Con was just screwing around and didn't want to partake in an actual debate - is because that would cause employers or whoever to judge based on your past, whether it be yesterday or sixteen years ago. I know people who have gone to prison and are now incredibly well off, working in corporate positions. Mind you, they went to prison a dozen years ago, but I can guarantee you if their employers did a background check to that caliber, they most likely wouldn't have even been looked at twice. Universal background checks cause an immidiate bias, even if it's an "irrational" one.
