We should ban most (if not all guns) in America/ ROTW

Thank you for being patient and providing arguments while I could previously only give weak ones. I will reenter this debate now with effort and enthusiasm because this is an interesting topic. Now on to the debate: I stand firm in my posistiion that guns should NOT be banned in America or the rest of the World. I apologize for not providing a source and you are correct to dismiss that evidence. First, you said in your most recent argument "Otherwise they put their lives at risk or destroy the life of criminals. Although they are criminals, they are still human and don't simply sacrifice the right to life when they enter somebody's house to commit burglary for example. If civilians own handguns. criminals wont think to kill them. These people obtaining" however dailymail.co.uk proved the exact opposite in an article written in April 2013: "Last month, a would-be thief broke in to Eric Martin's home in St George, Utah - leading the 46-year-old to fear for his life and those of his fianc"e and her daughter. But thanks to the 9mm pistol he keeps by his bed, he was able to confront the intruder and keep him there until police arrived. As the debate swirls around new gun control measures in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre, many activists are pointing to cases like that of Mr Martin to show that the vast majority of weaponry is intended for entirely legitimate ends." This Is a prime example of the self defense that makes guns perfectly acceptable and therefore the large powers shouldn't not have the right to control and dictate the rights of the people when it comes to defending safety. The article continued to cite studies on crime in the United States saying: "With Americans split over whether guns more often save lives or jeopardise them, researchers have studied surveys of crime victims done in the 1990s, arguing over what the numbers mean. But since then, crime has plummeted in the U.S. The rate of violent crimes including murder and assault fell by nearly half from 1992 to 2011, while the rate of reported property crime dropped 41 per cent." This directly contradicts your evidence and shows that crime is decreasing in the United States. Second, you stated that natural law refers to the laws of the Greeks, however I was simply referring to the laws of nature, the laws that give me and you the right to privacy. The laws that allow me to live to breathe, to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! If you would deny people the right to protect themselves then this debate is over and I will forfeit immediately. This is not a small issue, this is the lives of individuals who need to be able to live. You can't give up the lives of others just because a minority doesn't respect the law. In addition, I apologize if English law has become outdated in your opinion. , If your founding fathers couldn't account for the future, that is your problem not mine, because in America, the constitution was written to exist and uphold the rights of the people and my rights will not be stripped just because you think the law is below a socialist agenda. Today, more gun owners than ever - 48 per cent according to a March poll by the Pew Research Center - cite self-protection as their primary reason for having a firearm. That has nearly doubled since 1999, and now far surpasses the number of gun owners who say they own a firearm primarily for hunting. We can't deny people the right to protect themselves because, as my third contention states, guns don't kill people, people kill people. My third contention is also strongly supported by an article written by Clark College in Novemember of 2012. They said:"It has been said "Guns don"t kill people, people kill people", and this is completely true. Behind every shooting is a human being who made the decision to pull the trigger. The vast majority of guns in this country are owned by decent, law-abiding citizens. Should their rights be trampled on because a minuscule percentage of the population chooses to live outside the law? Of course not, you wouldn"t ban cars because some drivers are reckless or kill people in accidents. Americans are watching their freedoms erode day by day. The last thing we need is more governmental control and less freedom. If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns." Since I have defended my arguments and answered your arguments from all the previous rounds I will end just as you did, with an analogy. If you are in a burning building alone, and all you have is a cell phone, wouldn't you use it? OF COURSE! In his case, the burning building is a threat and the cell phone is a gun, and I hope you can see how guns are necessary and appropriate for the defense, safety, integrity, and freedom of America and the World. I stand firm in my con position. Thank you.
