Gun Rights in all locations should be legalized.

First of all, I would like to clarify that I said that gun rights aren't allowed to people with a criminal record.Thank you, for accepting this ineresting debbate.Arguments:I believe that everyone should have gun rights except for people with criminal records. I believe this because some people may need defense or a source to defend themselves or other people from potential danger. For example, if someone gets robbed, or harassed in an extreme way, they should have some way to defend themselves. Other than the possible fatality of the person responsible for the conflict in the first place, this will show that guns are no different than other forms of self defense, such as baseball bats or golf cllubs.To support the reason for the negative connatation towards the criminal records, there can be a slight possibilty that someone who has been convicted of a crime can use a gun for harassement, threats, and even death to others that may hav cause his prison sentence in the first place. For example, if a specific person told the police about a crime someone has commited, that prisoner may be looking for revenge.Even if we have a ban in guns for citizens in America, will it still control the crime rates? I know we are just talking about the United States, but I will compare to other countries: Canada has a high crime rate, yet has the same amount of gun control as Japan. It depends on the country and the people in the country. In this argument, statistics prove very fallible and thus cannot be used in this argument. We can debate through sheer logic. What you should think about is this question: If we ban guns, how will citizens have protetion? And even if they do, will that even decrease the crime rates anyway? And I do not see how criminals breaking laws is that hard to believe, much less a complex question that requires a paragraph of an answer. Regardless, I should think a crime is easier to commit when you know the victim is unarmed. And, do you think that if guns were to become illegal criminals would stop trying to get guns? It is far easier for a person to obtain a legal gun than an illegal gun. But, if it came down to where guns would be illegal, I have reason to believe criminals would get guns somehow if they really wanted to. And also, you do understand that if guns become illegal, criminals will still have access to guns. If the gun they possess is legal, they can always get another one through the black market. If statistics show that you are more likely to shoot yourself than defend yourself, let me pose a question for you. Do you think a suicidal person would not kill themselves just because they did not have access to a gun? Let me remind you: There is more than one way to skin a cat. So, the issue of a suicidal having access to guns is solved. There would be no gap in the amount of suicides if we were to take guns away. Therefore, I rephrase your argument into "With you being more likely to jump off a bridge than anyone even breaking into your house let alone you being the active defender it is hard to justify the statements regarding protection." As you can see, jumping off a bridge has nothing to do with guns. Even then, an innocent human life was saved when someone decided to own a gun and defended themselves with that gun. You may not value that human life, but I do. I await my opponents argument.
