gun banns

Yes, I do believe it will work. May have a cite for the 10 million immigrants statistics? And are these immigrants taking guns, or are they just coming into the United States? Also, the fact that these illegal immigrants are sneaking them in isn't the topic of our debate. They are non-law-abiding citizens seeing as they are illegal trespassers of United States soil. Seizing guns from illegal immigrants is an entirely different issue. "You think that banning guns will stop this?" Banning guns in the United States definitely won't stop the illegal immigrant's smuggling of guns, but as I said, that's an entirely different problem that gun banning alone can't solve. That also isn't the problem I'm aiming to solve by banning guns. "All you are doing is taking away guns from the law abiding citizens." Yeah, but you forget that by taking away these guns, it can prevent civilian crimes and deaths from happening all the time. Things like domestic murders, suicides, and to an extent, school shootings like the one in Newtown, Connecticut. "Let's say all guns in America disappear. They will only slowly come back and only to the criminals who sneak them into the country." Assuming that gun smuggling into the United States is a serious problem in the status quo or post-plan, there is no evidence that these criminals that sneak into the US with guns will sell them rampantly to Average Joe civilians. However, what we are doing right now without gun bans is. In the United States, 45 states doesn't need rifle buyers to have a permit, and 38 states doesn't need handgun buyers to have a permit.* We're basically handing them out to those who are interested in buying but doesn't have the necessary psychological or physical requirements. This is what caused shootings like Columbine, VirginiaTech, and Sandy Hook. "There is also the chance of the government getting to controlling." Extrapolate on that in the next round, please. "You can not say it will never happen because that is an assumption. America is the youngest country meaning it is the last country that can say we will never be taken over the government. Personally I don't think it will happen, but it is always a possibility." First of all, America isn't the youngest country. The youngest country by definition is the Republic of South Sudan. Second, you don't seem to be very confidant in your argument. Third, however, the United Kingdom banned the private ownership of firearms and they have one of the lowest gun crime rate in the world.** However, United Kingdom is obviously very democratic and has no possible future in government controlling the nation. In fact, gun violence in the US is 40 times higher (percentage by population) than the UK. "There would be more harm done if all these guns were taken away." I assume you will thoroughly prove that you in the next round. So to recapitulate, gun banning and illegal immigrants are two different sides of two VERY different coins, gun banning solves for domestic murders, suicides, etc. Gun banning also will keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally-ill and will lead to lower crime rate, as evidenced by the UK. *http://en.wikipedia.org... **http://www.gunpolicy.org...
