Gun Control Is Bad (BROAD)

I like to start off by thanking my opponent for this debate. Although I advocate for gun control, I do not advocate for 100% gun bans. I will also debate according to the criteria and only use sources when requested by my opponent.My opponents Argument: Gun control is bad for law abiding citizens. Rebuttals 1. Gangs and criminals still get guns, however it is more difficult for them to get guns; guns control does not necessarily mean unaming citizen;. Mexico's problems are mainly due to corrupt government officials and not their strict gun control. Europe is a continent that consist of many countries, With France even though automatics are banned guns aren't completely banned, 31.2 firearms are are owned per 100 people, that's about 1/3 of France's population. Over 200 people died in venues consisting of thousands, at least 1 person should have a firearm, even then a firefight in amongst the crowd of thousands would leave more injured than dead. Most civilians are NOT TRAINED AGAINST PROFESSIONAL TERRORIST ATTACKS. Guns and drugs are completely different, it is a lot easier to sneak drugs than guns.2. Better gun control will mean less accidental deaths by guns. More guns means more deaths, no matter how you look at the data doesn't lie, America has 88.8 guns per 100 people and has the highest death rates by guns 16 times more than Germany. That's means the U.S. Has almost 1 gun per citizen, how many people do you know or have come across and thought, yea I definitely would not give that guy a gun?3. The 70's were a different time and gun violence started to rise in the 60's and 70's. The type of guns available were different as well as the amount of guns out there.4,5, and 6 all have to do with gun modifications so my rebuttal here can be shorts. Yes anyone can modify their weapons that goes against the laws but not everyone can do it successfully, it takes precision, time, and patience, sometimes a cooperating helper. Which means people that want to modify their guns to use for illegal reasons will have a tougher time doing so. Sure the Internet can teach you but Do it yourselves(DIYs) aren't always perfect or practical.Now for my argumentsWhy wouldn't you want stricter background checks? Do you know it is easier to get guns in some states than getting your drivers license?(Texas) or even permitted to cut hair?(Airizona) You should be mentally competent(cleared by a doctor) and trained about properly using a gun if you want to own one meaning, you need to prove you know how to operate it, know the laws about it, as well as a vision test so that you don't operate it without the proper tools. Reasons1. 80% of mass shootings in America guns have been purchased legally better gun control could have prevented that. Currently because of a loophole a person can still acquire a gun while their purchase is going througfh a background check which means mentally incompetent people can acquire guns legally.2. Australia had a very successful gun control campaign after a mass shooting by a 28yo male back in 1996 just walked into a cafe. Pulled a semi-auto out of his bag am opened fire killing 35 people and wounding 23 more. Their law makers ended up banning certain guns NOT all guns. When they did so they LEGALLY confiscated 650k through a BUYBACK program meaning the owners were compensated, as well as creating a better registry of all guns as well as new permits for new firearm purchases. The results? Homicide rates dropped 42% in 7 years and firearm suicide rates dropped 57%3.Making sure everyone that buys a gun know how to operate, store, lawfully use a gun, as well as being mentally competent helps people who are not responsible law abiding citizens from getting guns. And I said help not completely prevent.
