Guns ownership should be illegal

First I would like to criticize my opponent for rebutting at the second round. I explicitly stated at the beginning of the debate that the debate format is as follows: (Round 1)acceptance, (Round 2) arguments, (3) rebuttals and conclusion. I will let the voters decide how such misconduct is to be penalized. Rebuttals 1. "Well Regulated" My opponent claims that our state militia is not well-regulated. This claim is unfortunately irrelevant, even a bit asinine because the US does not have state militias. Hence, I declare that this out of the blue rebuttal be ignored. 2. "Totalitarianism" I never claimed that making guns illegal is totalitarianism. It's at best authoritarianism. I only claimed that arming the citizens allows the prevention of a docile populous, which is the reason why the Nazi's wanted to disarm the Germans. Gun ownership prevents such fascism from advancing to dangerous levels. To say that "banning murder" is good in the way that "banning guns" is good because such laws keep us from "wiping each other out" clearly shows my opponents fear of guns. My opponents irrational gear of guns. It logically follows from his statement that "they're keeping us from wiping each other out" by "passing a law for the safety of the citizens" that normal, sane, and good people suddenly go on shooting sprees when they are handed a gun. If my audience or opponent can not see the irrational fear in this sentiment, then I don't know what to tell you. Guns do not kill, people kill. Learn to trust others. 3. "Self-defense" My opponent claims that we "wouldn't have to defend themselves as often if gun ownership was illegal". Again, my opponent equates guns with violence. And again, I will not stand for this. I can easily debunk this by saying that criminals don't follow laws, and so therefore gun control only disarms law abiding citizens. But I'm as they call it pissed. Stop associating guns with death. Stop this ridiculous stereotype. You never grew up with guns so you were never taught gun safety and you were never taught how to shoot a gun. Stop acting like guns cause death when never probably even held a gun. 4. "Correlation between gun ownership and gun violence" The problem with trying to argue with correlations, as I have tried to express in round one, is that correlations only account for one variable. Gun violence is a reflection not only how strict gun control is, but also education, poverty and etc. 5. "Process of confiscating all guns" My opponent claims that gun ownership should be illegal. Notice that he does not address my point, which was that guns could be made with the know-how and the resources to make a gun could be easily brought. I would like this point addressed the next round. 6. "Accidental gun deaths" My opponent claims that guns cause accidents. To this I say, everything causes accidents. And to say that guns are unnecessary is to ignore the fact that police officers and the marines use them every single day to defend the country. Why can't a citizen use a gun? Gun safety and usage is not rocket science. You point it at something that you think is dangerous and if it acts up you pull the trigger. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. The only differences with a trained person like me is that I have better aim and I can draw my gun much quicker. We need guns to protect us because criminals will use guns to harm us. 7. "Easier to get guns" Is it possible that you don't know anything about guns? Because from this argument you just showed me that you know absolute nothing about firearms. This is my opponent people. First of all, guns don't cause death. People use guns to murder. Banning guns isn't going to make people more moral. And guns can be made. I can make a gadget that fires nails if given an hour in a tool shed. Hell yeah its easy to get guns when you can make them. The people that use guns to kill other people for the hell of it are going to get guns one way or the other. Confiscating guns only disarms the people, which leaves us defenseless against shooters. Do you know why mass shooters kill themselves when the police come? Because they don't want to fight. They are cowards, so they only kill when they are in the perfect position to do so. Don't give them that environment, keep guns ownership legal. 8. "Protection" It's so easy for a gun to misfire but you're okay with police officers carrying guns. You're okay with armed police officers but you're not okay with armed normal people. Nice trust there buddy. You know that people are taught gun safety right? Conclusion I started this debate to try to prove that gun owners aren't inbred rednecks. And that guns are a liberty that protects us from criminals, and that criminals kill, not guns. I hope that people will get over their fear of the unknown, and try to understand how a gun works before they say that guns only cause death. More importantly, I hope that people can see that guns are used to protect us everyday. May the better debater win.
