Gun Control

With all due respect, I feel like I am debating Donald Trump here. . :D (take it lightly, Sir). I have given evidence clearly before this round. My opponent's stance that the UK banned guns is wrong. The UK never banned them. In fact, I don't quite understand why my opponent keeps getting back to this issue of banning guns - Australia never did so either. Also, As for his stance on illegal smuggling of guns, I shall say this conclusively given this is the final round - just because of fear of it being brought in from our borders, We cannot have a law that does not ban guns. Simply put, Fear of smuggling should never lead to the dismantling of laws. Borders are meant to be protected, And we must trust the people best suited for that. You spoke of a wall - do you think that the House is full of idiots that wouldn't support it? Do you think this shutdown over the wall was a joke? Imagine not getting your paycheck when you live on these - the Air Traffic Controllers didn't get their salaries, TSA officers didn't get theirs, The government was shut down, Over the whim of building a huge wall, And getting Mexico to pay for it. What beats me is that this is America we're talking about. My opponent has told us that fewer guns result in more crime - while I have seen evidence for this, Is he suggesting we loosen already existent gun laws? Remember, Throughout this debate I have vocal over the need for gun control - I am Pro here. Based on such statistics, It's incorrect to think that freer rules would result in less crime. Imagine, If the laws weren't so tough on defaulters, What cause would keep them from committing crime again? We need tough laws against guns, I repeat myself, GUN CONTROL IS THE WAY FORWARD. I believe that my opponent has based on his argument on the understanding that tough laws will only provoke criminals to find ways to bend the laws for them. What about robberies? We have laws against theft. In reality, Rates of theft have reduced considerably. Yet if we take your argument, A house should be broken into every week. The fact is, And I say this again, Our laws should never be borne of fear. We have the police, We have law enforcement, We must trust that the law is, To whatever possible extent, Maintained. Our Constitution cannot be edited on whims, I hope that's very clear. Kids have, I have said before, Minds that can be very easily influenced. Think of this - a kid watches a cartoon where the hero comes out of nowhere, And shoots dead a criminal. His dad owns a gun, And due to most laws in states, Is permitted to hold the gun in public. Wouldn't the kid be tempted to emulate that great hero? Only that, In the real world, That's a criminal offence. Then again, Do kids even what that means. I apologize for that parable - this is a very serious debate on which the future of the US and the world hinges. But I believe that one must tackle ignorance or false claims by such means. I conclude by repeating my stance. I am pro gun control. I support tough laws that ensure that possession of guns is strictly regulated. I believe we must place trust in the law, And not base that law on mere whims. I believe that a lesser number of guns everywhere is better for the future - we don't want a society that was brought up seeing the gun and the violence it can cause - that just spells disaster.
