Gun Control is wrong and the government shouldn't infringe on the Second Amendment

My opponent makes good points. I will now state my arguments more extensively. I would like to remind voters to not let Pro manipulate the resolution in his favor. He states that “Gun control is wrong”, so it is safe to assume he means all. Please consider this and do not let Pro change his resolution to “Limited gun control is good”. I. It is inherently dangerous for society to freely possess weaponry. It is clear that if everyone owned weapons without a controlling force, the world would be in anarchy. Take Somalia for an example. In Somalia, there is no stable standing government, and so no laws regarding gun control. As a result, everyone there lives in total anarchy and fear of being killed or otherwise violated by local strongmen. Somalia’s death rate is 14.55/1000 per year, compared to the U.S.’s 6.15/1000. That’s high even when you take out the other health factors. Imagine living in a society where people can freely possess weaponry. You might not own one, but your psychotic neighbors might. Imagine your psychotic neighbor owning a minigun. Imagine him going to a public facility and mowing everyone down. It’s not pretty. And don’t call me on reducto absurdium, because I’m not exaggerating. Look at the mass shootings that have occurred in America. If those people can get their hands on a minigun, you bet they will. The law, and its enforcement, is the only thing keeping them away. The same argument can be extended to non-ballistic weapons. With enough money, anyone can own a nuke. Crime would be on a whole new level. II. Self-defense is not a legitimate excuse to freely own all firearms. There are two levels to this: Personal defense and country defense. On personal defense, the firearm is not a prime choice. Firearms are hard to control, and have a higher tendency of misfire. Fire arms are meant to be an offensive weapon since their invention weapon. They are meant to kill. If one really wanted to defend themselves, buy a Taser. Tasers cannot kill, they have much higher stopping power, and they cannot be used to kill in a fit of rage. On national defense. Only the official army should have the possession of high powered weaponry. Civilians simply do not need them, to hunt, do target practice, or otherwise recreational activities. If the citizens ever do need to rise up against their government (which is highly unlikely in a democracy), they can always import weapons. Look at countries like Mali. They are democratic, but they don’t have much enforceable laws on firearms. As a result, they have extremely high crime and death rates. III. The NRA is not closer to the "solution" of ending all dangerous shootings than everyone else. Here is what the NRA wants: No background checks. Armed guards everywhere. Background checks could obviously stop the mentally unstable and people with former criminal backgrounds from getting a gun that might be used in unlawful shootings. Armed guards are already deployed, and the government has absolutely no problem with itself owning guns. The NRA is quite simply a gun lobbyist spend millions on Congress in return for relaxed gun laws. This is purely in its self-interest. IV. The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was not meant to deal with the weaponry today. The Second Amendment was written more than 200 years ago. 200 years ago, all they had were single-shot extremely inaccurate and hard to reload muskets. The revolver wasn’t invented until the19th century. The only tool of oppression of the government was the musket – they didn’t have anything better. What would the Founding Fathers have thought if they had machine guns back then? In fact John Adams said the Amendments are to be amended in the future. And Amendments have been amended. A militia and guns were necessary to revolt back then, but not now. Now, the government has weapons such as artillery, tanks, tactical missiles, drones, chemical weapons, etc… The people cannot expect to win with just their AR-15s. It’s a different time. Therefore the right to bear arms should be limited. Thanks. Your go. []. http://en.wikipedia.org... []. http://home.nra.org... [].https://en.wikipedia.org...
