The USA should abolish all firearms

Before I summarise my case and explain why I have won I need to point out a few glaring problems with what you have just said. I need to start off by saying that I am appalled and disgusted by your use of racist and hateful language. Not only was what you said completely untrue but you used extremely offensive and derogatory language which I am absolutely appalled by. There is absolutely no evidence that black people are innately more violent than other people and to even suggest such an outrageous claim is utterly pathetic and malicious. You seem to be a backward, racist and moreover horrible individual. In fact, from the parameters set in this debate you should already be disqualified according to my 3rd rule in acceptance of the challenge. I cannot imagine that the audience would want to hear such horrible and vile racism and so I hope that the voters show what they think of you and overwhelmingly vote Pro. On to the debate. Thomas Jefferson lived in a totally different time to use now. At the time, the existence of the 2nd amendment made sense. People did not engage in mass shootings, big cities did not exist and guns were hard to get (as well as being very un-powerful). A quote is not an explanation. Next, you engaged in a laughable and ridiculous argument of correlation and causation. Gun control has absolutely nothing to do with mass murder by the state. Did the 2nd amendment ever help slaves liberate themselves from their masters in 19th century America? All of the examples you listed had everything to do with genocidal, evil dictators coming to power and nothing to do with civilians not owning guns. Do you honestly think that most: Chinese, Russian , German Ugandan, Cambodian, Guatemalan or Turkish civilians could gain access to a gun in those situations? They could not have defended themselves in either situation. This has absolutely nothing to do with gun control. I am amazed that you would have the cheek to bring up such a ridiculous argument. And its not even an argument. You didn't even provide an explanation for it. You just listed examples which prove absolutely nothing. Interestingly enough, the ability of many Russian farmers to have firearms allowed them to massacre lots of Jews under the Tsarist regime. I have proven statistically that wherever there is gun control there are fewer deaths as a result of gun violence. Death due to other reasons such as a murderous dictatorship is a separate matter. Civilians with rights to guns never overthrow dictatorships. Have you considered that dictatorships exist because the populace supports them? Stalin and Hitler were very popular with the people. Now, you have clearly dropped the economic argument so that has been proven to be a complete fallacy. You have also dropped the black market argument since that has also been shown to be a fallacy as well. As for your practical uses of guns argument, that has clearly been dropped to as it is also a total myth. The last standing argument you have is simply to deny the statistics. Let's actually look at the statistics because you actually made claims which are untrue. Finland has 4.5 firearm homicides per million people whereas the USA has 29.7 firearm homicides per 1 million. Norway has 1 tenth of the rate of gun deaths per 100 000 of that of the USA. Your claims are quite frankly lies. Violent crime may be on the decrease but gun crime is still at a massive rate in the US compared to pretty much every other country. This decrease has everything to do with other factors and not gun possession. The second amendment has existed since 1791 so why has the decrease only happened now? Your suggestion is completely ridiculous. Also the single example of Colombine is not good enough to prove your point. Plus, guns can be transported in very easily since they are legal everywhere else in the USA. Of course, 80% of gun crimes are drug related but so what? If they had been drug related knife crimes do you think so many people would have died? The motivation does not matter. What matters is the level of violence which happens as a result of the power of the weapon. The reason that the suicide rate in the US is so high compared to other high-income countries is because people have such an easy way of killing themselves effectively -guns. Remove the guns and there will be less suicides. The burglary statistics are interesting but I wonder how many people die when guns are used? The answer is a whole lot more. There may be a suggestion of a deterrent but the reality is that the UK is a much safer country and the US has far more homicides especially when it comes to guns. So as you can see, the problem is guns. Guns are effective killing machines which allow murder to be so much easier. 64% of USA homicides were gun killings. This is 4.5% in the UK and 13% in Australia. It is not only factual but logical that more guns causes more gun related killings. The overwhelming evidence shows this to be true. Therefore, guns cause murder and so should be abolished. Let me explain why I have won. I have shown why the second amendment is outdated and how we could repeal it and remove guns. I have also provided a workable model as to how a gun controlled USA would function. I have also shown how guns cause more gun related murders and allow people to murder more people. I have shown that guns are not necessary to lives of ordinary Americans. I have shown that the Black market will be minuscule and not sufficient to warrant guns for everyone and I have shown that guns are not effectively used to stop crime and murder. Therefore, with every single one of challenges to my explanation of how the firearms lead to more gun murders having been proven to be either untrue or minor points, my argument that lack of gun control increases gun deaths is still true. The USA needs to change. Guns do cause more gun deaths. I don't understand how this is so hard to understand. This is a form of denial. The USA has some of the worst crime rates and gun murder rates of any developed country in the world and it is all due to the lack of basic controls on guns. A good guy with a gun does not stop a bad guy with a gun. More often the good guy with a gun shoots his child in the head instead (that is actually true by the way). In no other country is 36 000 gun deaths a year normal. For this murder and chaos to stop the USA needs to implement my proposal. Guns are killing machines. They don't protect people - they kill people. Vote Pro. I'm sure that even a racist nutcase like you can see that guns are utterly murderous
