Gun control is an effective way to reduce the impact of violent crime

For the record I would like to sa I am not as good as you think. Also my skills are lacking so I decided to join the debate to see what the other side says and me myself use to be for gun control till I realized it would not help so now I would like to say thank you for this debate. Please no google docs because I cannot copy and paste and I will have to use a few rebuttals so type your argument here.Rebuttal 1 From 2005-2010, almost 3,800 people in the U.S. died from unintentional shootings. Guns in the home are correlated with higher risk, as the likelihood of being involved in an accidental shooting, homicide, or suicide attempts increases by 22 times due to their presence. These are far more common than their usage in self-defense as well. States with more guns, on average, are 9 times as likely to die due to accidental shootings.[2] As my case reduces levels of gun ownership, this would be linearly improved,You said states with many guns have a high chance of crime rate going up. A study has been shown that states with a all out gun ban has more crime than U.S and also U.S is not the number 1 hotspot for crime. Matter a fact crime rate has made a decrease. It is the parents fault for keeping their children with a gun in there hand. Parents with unstable or misbehaving children should nit have gun ownership but the cause of ' homicide school shootings and sucides after' is the fault of the parents. True gun ownership needs to be improved but the government gives permits to people that are trusted and has the right to wield guns.Rebuttal 2Essentially, guns make suicide too easy. They're far more likely to occur in the homes of gun owners, especially among adolescents. People who committed suicide in a given year were found to be 17 times as likely to have lived in homes with guns than people who did not.[3] States that perform background checks and have higher restrictions have lower suicide and homicide deaths.[4] What's more, states with lower gun ownership "had similar rates of depression and suicidal thoughts, as well as similar rates of suicide that did not involve firearms, like hanging and poisoning. But the number of people who died by shooting themselves was almost four times greater in the high-gun states."[3] Even those with experience and training in using a firearm could benefit from additional restrictions.[5] Veterans who commit suicide use a gun 70% of the time.[3] Therefore, increased background checks to remove guns from individuals with psychiatric illnesses could stand to reduce these rates. About making sucide easy you said guns make it too easy. House knives are used for sucide and it makes it easy because a,l you gotta do is stab yourself which would not even take minutes and should we put a strict law to that? Also things like hammers make sucide easy and should we put a restriction on what type of people who should use hammers? (3) Backround checks are made to see if a person does not have a permit to have a gun but this has nothing to do with the government controlling all guns. Rebuttal 3This is a bit more involved. I'll start by talking about mass shootings, then move to individual crimes that simply involve the usage of guns. Now, why would this reduce mass shootings? Reducing the availability of legal avenues of acquisition would be likely to reduce incidence. Of the 143 guns possessed by these people, more than " were obtained legally.[6] This is true whether we're talking about workplace or school shootings.[7] If my opponent would like, I can cover specific instances in my next post. These often included assault weapons and semi-automatic rifles, though any gun would have a higher likelihood of being denied to them, especially due to psychiatric evaluation being more often taken into account.Individual criminals that utilize guns as a means to an end will also have less access. They will have far fewer no loopholes through which to acquire their weapons legally, so anyone with a criminal background will often be denied based on background checks. Access to the most dangerous rifles would be made more difficult and more expensive. Most of those who engage in criminal activities are poor.[8] A tax on certain guns makes them less likely to purchase them, since that will make the cost untenable for many. That means reduced access to the most destructive firearms. People can steal guns and come in gangs. Even making the guns expensive people like mafias who are highly intelligent can come in grup gangs and out number the cops and steal the guns. Not all criminals are poor and if you got that from the web it could be a assertion. And handguns can be destructive in there own way also those guns are very acurate and powerful also. Criminals can be smart and find ways to snatch guns so making the price expensive wont change anything.Rebuttal 4This will help law enforcement spot gun traffickers. It's a method of prevention that will stop some loss of life. Currently, private sales don't require these checks, and thus online and gun show sales are often unregulated in this regard. It is estimated that background checks have prevented almost 2 million criminals and dangerous individuals from buying guns, and as such, this actually has received the support of a large majority of the country.[14]Back round checks could help but it cannot stop criminals from obtaining a gun, yet we should have them but they wont stop criminals from taking a gun. Criminals will take a weapon no matter what. They could have knives, hammers, and bombs and still cause havok.Opening argumentGuns can decrease crime harvard studies showed that with guns crime decreases but the facts to prove my point is not asserted- There has been a decrease in crime lately in some points most of it has to do with guns decreasing crime- Most citizens need to have guns. Reason why because criminals can have knives and since laws are stricter criminals can attack at random. Now people who would have a gun criminals would be scared.Guns are not the only major issue of crime. Terrorist who bomb planes and kill almost 3000 people is very serious and there needs to be stricter laws on that. And by placing a stricter law to take guns away from others and taking controll is going against the second amendment which gives the right for all who needs a gun for protection to have one in need.Sourceshttp://guninformation.org...http://www.studymode.com... http://www.buzzle.com...; http://www.veteranstoday.com... http://www.bostonmagazine.com...http://www.breitbart.com...http://gunssavelives.net... http://www.chacha.com...
