In order to solve school/campus shootings, we should allow more people to carry guns

My opponent brings up a statistic about the percentage of school shootings, and the amount of casualties taken. I would also like to bring up a statistic about the amount of deaths per a year, where in 2014, there were 2.596,993 deaths (1). The main cause wasn't guns, but instead more so health conditions. My opponent brings up this statistic to promote Pathos in his argument, but the number presented is actually very low, compared to other deaths. Once more, guns are there; but not the source for all deaths.Then my opponent quotes: "It is much easier to view these as remote incidents if you have not been affected. I have not, personally, but numbers are increasing at alarming rates". First off, I like to point out one thing voters that my opponent made a claim, without any evidence. If my opponent supported this claim with evidence, then he would have something; but does not. For the portion of crime increasing at alarming rates, I will agree its happening, but not because of guns; more so the Media. Haven't you noticed that any time a "major" incident has occured the media always puts an emphasis on the criminal instead of the victim. This activitates the effect of "The Agents of Socialization" that influences a criminal to do a similar crime, because of the criminal portrayed in the media. This gives the new criminal the thought process of "Hey, I can get my fifteen minutes of fame for commiting a crime". (2) In my opinion, if we were to put blame on the raising on crime rates; it wouldn't be the guns but more so the media.To even further extend on why guns cannot be the issue, I like to point to a fact about gun control laws. Stated in the book "More Guns, Less Crime", John R. Lott Jr. states: "States with the largest increases in gun ownership also have the largest drops in violent crimes. Thirty-one states now have such laws—called “shall-issue” laws. These laws allow adults the right to carry concealed handguns if they do not have a criminal record or a history of significant mental illness" (3). Funny enough, the more gun control laws; the more chances of crime to ensue. This effect is what I call "Reverse Psychology". If we go with this statistic, it seems that the more free people are wih guns, the less amount of crime will happen.Then my opponent quotes: "Vigilantes are noble. Full of passion to protect, and full of fire to "right a wrong". But they are not trained, and can cause more damage than good". In the previous argument, I mentioned about having a trained individual being within the school just in case another incident happened like this again. My opponent makes the assumption that I was referring to a vigilante, which I like to point out is wrong. In my previous argument, I did not even mention anything about a vigilante being the individual in the room with a gun. Who I do say should be in the room with a gun is a trained individual of either in law enforcement, or someone trained to handle the job. Either that or allowing an adult to be able to carry a concealed handgun.Then my opponent states: "Kids and college students are in danger and the first reaction is to worry about gun rights and the 2nd amendment". Actually, yes; we should worry about the 2nd Amendement because we used guns to make this country. If we didn't, we would no longer be a country of democracy. This whole debate revolves the second amendement, and my opponent is claiming that we shouldn't focus on this? We should because if we are tring to protect victims of future shootings, the right to bare arms is a necessity for our survival. Have times changed, yes; but that doesn't mean we get rid of the second amendement completely. Do people get shot, yes they do; however, it wasn't the guns fault but the person holding the gun. Guns don't kill people, people kill people; guns are just a more convinient way of getting the job done, like throwing a rock on someones head.Sources:1. http://www.cdc.gov...2. http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk...3. http://www.press.uchicago.edu...
