Gun laws need to be more strict rather than banning them

1. "First of all, people are not so careless nowadays. They do not drop their guns. They don't leave as much evidence behind. It can be quite difficult to determine exactly where a person was shooting from, find all of the evidence, take it to the labs and go through the whole process to find out who it is. Because people are aware that the technology today can help to trace who the person is, chances are, by the time they DO figure out who it is, the person is long gone. " In most cases criminals are not as smart as my opponent makes it seem. When someone shoots someone they are in a hurry to get away before they can be seen as the shooter. This means they are likely to be seen running away, leave the weapon used, leave prints or are saw on video. The criminal may be in the criminal data base and that would make them all the more easier to catch. 2. "You are talking about history. Now is now. Yes, people can still be attacked, but how many people may be in possession of bows, arrows, axes, swords, rocks, and fire? True, there are knives, but the victim will have a much better chance of protecting themselves. " I was simply stating that there are other methods of committing crimes. Banning guns are not going to stop all the murders, rapes, robbery etc. They may make them go down but the criminal population would find an alternative to guns such as using a knife or smuggling into the country. 3. "ou also forget that I've stated earlier that banning normal citizens from having guns is different from banning everyone from having guns. The officials and police will still be allowed to have guns for the safety of the public. This gives the police and officials an advantage over anyone who has a mere knife or such. " A criminal could easily take a cops gun and murder the cop. You are not completely fixing the gun problem. 4. "It's a lot harder to kill someone without a gun. Using a gun, all you have to do is pull the trigger and BOOM, they're dead. End of story, end of a life. Also, there is less of a chance of someone dying from a knife wound than from a gun wound. Also, people die slower from a knife wound, so there's more of a chance of that person being found than a person who was shot and died quickly. Also, for those who can't get their hands on a gun because the test or their background excludes them, they, too, may attempt to smuggle guns into the U. S. . So smuggling is an issue either way. " My opponent states that it would be alot harder to kill someone with a gun well I disagree. If you were walking down the street and suddenly someone comes out of nowhere and stabs you in the neck they could his your carotid artery and you could bleed to death in a matter of minutes. My opponent also states that you will have gun smuggling either way, if you ban guns gun smuggling will go up and become more of a problem. 5. "he Constitution is not always right; they may not have anticipated these sort of circumstances. Times change. Situations change. Laws change. Is it a bad thing for an amendment to change, especially if it is for the better? " This is still an amendment and you are still infringing on rights of Americans. The amendment is still in effect, because if it were not then Americans wouldn't have guns that needed to be banned. 6. "'d like to weigh the impacts, here. Yes, the Proposition is right in that is would indeed be easier to make the laws more strict, because this is not changing much. People will still die out there of gun wounds. People will still be inflicted with psychological pains, an argument which my opponent has not yet refuted. Pain that marks them for life! Do you think it is easy to get over being shot? The want for revenge you feel when a loved one has been shot? The guilt that comes from surviving while no one else has? Furthermore, the guilt from shooting someone? No! These are irreparable hurts! THIS is the world the Proposition is supporting. A world where nearly everyone can have a gun. A world where people are suffering from such mental problems! To prevent people from dying out there, from hurting, from feeling such unnecessary pain, to BAN GUNS, please vote for the Opposition. " There is a mom and her two sons and they are stab wound victims. The two boys do not survive but the mom does. She still feels the pain and sorrow of losing her two boys. Pain will still mark the scar were she was stabbed will still remind her of what happened. She will still have the want for revenge, and she will never forget that she was stabbed. We do not need to ban guns, people will still die and suffer. Banning guns will only make the world safer from guns not from everything or everyone else.
