Stricter Gun Control Policies

I will start this argument from my side and explain reasons why I think gun control is outrageous. I read your first argument and realized you are not completely against firearms or restricting firearms, but instead want firearms to be harder to get access from criminals. I will ask if you can please clarify more to what your side of the debate is. I must agree that I do not want firearms in the hands of criminals, but I will use this round to give my simple facts of why Gun Control is wrong. Facts below are by the FBI and other sources online. I will post the websites if you really do not believe me. First off. Let us look at the countries that have banned guns. Britain, Australia, Japan, etc, etc, etc. What do most anti gun democrats say about this? "35, 40 deaths by guns in one whole year" This is a common misconception. Britain and Australia (2 main examples for gun control arguments) are the two HIGHEST AMONG ANY COUNTRY with violent crimes per 100,000 people. 2,000 of every 100,000 people in Britain, 1,600 in Australia. What is a violent crime? Rape, robbery, murder, stabbing, chocking, life threats, etc. Guess what? The United States has a whooping 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people and that INCLUDES Chicago, New York City, and other anti gun areas in the United States. What does this mean? Less Guns = Less fear to commit crimes. If the bad people KNOW that other civilians have no weapons, what should they be afraid of? Nothing! That is why the violent crime rates are SO HIGH in these Gun Control countries. Secondly. It is our second amendment right. I am not saying this because it is good for hunting and self-defense, which it IS. Of course we must defend ourselves. The main fact is that We HAVE THE RIGHT. When America was first created we saw what the British had done way back when to take away our rights. We have guns so we can protect ourselves from oppressive governments! Ferdinand Marco is the dictator of the Philippines. What was the first thing he did as dictator? Return all guns to the government within two weeks or you will receive the death penalty. Why would a dictator do that? So the people have no power and no threat that will stop the government from completely ruling the people's daily lives. Having guns was and is protected by the Constitution for the main reason that tyranny will not occur in the United States, and if it does we will be ready for it. Third. Assault weapons. I really want to enlighten some people on the views on assault weapons. Referring to my previous paragraph, to stop an oppressive government you need a chance to stop them. So how can you stop a government with rifles that shoot a bullet a second and require much aim. What many people do not realize is that assault weapons given to citizens are semi automatic, not fully automatic. They are powerful, but are not as powerful as military grade weapons. People think semi automatic assault weapons should be banned. Most reasons are "Aurora, Sandy Cook". No. Not valid reasons. In Sandy Cook the man who committed the crime had two pistols along with him as well. If he did not use the assault weapon would he not have used the pistols? So wouldn't you have to ban all guns? Assault weapons are NOT the main use of death by firearm in the United States. 95-98% of ALL HOMICIDES BY FIREARM IN THE UNITED STATES ARE FROM HAND GUNS. So if you want to pull the "Aurora, Sandy Cook, you should feel terrible you want assault weapons to keep killing children" trick, yes I feel terrible, but then what stops you from banning ALL guns? Handguns cause much more deaths in Chicago, Detroit, New York City, in a day than they did in Aurora and Sandy Cook combined. Assault weapons should stay legal. Fourth. Yes there should and is back round checks that see if you are mentally ill or a criminal. I agree, keep the guns away from the ones who will use it for harm of others. The Aurora shooting took place because a mentally ill person took guns from his mother. There should be laws that make gun owners safeguard their weapons if they know they have mentally ill people living with them. ONE MAIN THING. People think back round checks are terrible and easy to get around in their current state. 96% of all homicides from guns are done by criminals who get parole or pardons by corrupted officials / illegally obtained weapons in the United States. Fifth. What stops guns from being given to the bad guys? MEXICO. One prime example. Banned guns, 50,000 gun homicides a year. Doesn't work. Chicago. New York City. Detroit. Banned guns. 6,500 gun homicides are in the United States per year if you exclude suicides, self-defense, etc. There is an average of 500 deaths by guns in Chicago PER YEAR ALONE. Detroit, New York City, other cities are even worse. Chicago is not even in the top 6. Another question. There are 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States. What stops there from being 12 million guns smuggled into the United States if we cannot even stop PEOPLE from coming in illegally and unseen? Sixth. What stops gun control enthusiasts there? Guns cause barely as many deaths as do knives. The same day as Aurora, in China a man took two knives and killed 22 people and wounded one. Are you going to ban knives? What is after that? People kill using glass. Are you going to ban glass? People kill with fists so are you going to ban that as well? Why not ban cars since people drink and drive and kill others? Look at the facts. More guns = less crime. Less guns = more crimes.
