Gun control is futile.

R.1 Ban and control are not the same definitionNot only is this is a pathetic and desperate attempt by my opponent to show how these two words mean the same thing, it is actually bad conduct. The reason why this is bad conduct, is because my opponent tries to find a way to alter the definition using synonyms that have *almost* the same meaning. On top of that, the two definitions do not even use the same synonyms! Further more, just because those two synonyms are used in the same definition, it does not mean the two words are the same definition! Those two words themselves ! In this field, those two words have similar meanings, however in this debate my opponent’s logic is completely irrelevant and flawed. Lets go a little further shall we? I used my opponent’s definition of Gun control correctly. (“Gun control: government regulation of the sale and ownership of firearms.”) This is therefore assumed I am arguing by my opponent’s definition of gun control, which I am. So I do not see why my opponent is bringing up the definition of ban at all as I am simply arguing by his definition. He tries to change his definition resulting in bad conduct.Also, if you go to thesaurus, and type in “control” or “ban”, those two words do not show that ban and control are synonymous. ( 1 and 2) This means, that my entire opponent’s arguments in the second round are meaningless since they refer to gun ban!R.2 U.S has far more gun related killings than any other developed countryFor a rich and developed country, U.S has According to data compiled by the United Nations, the United States has four times as many gun-related homicides per capita as do Turkey and Switzerland, which are tied for third.(3) Brazil is a developing country. A developing country is a country with a low living standard, underdeveloped industrial base and low Human Development Index relative to other countries. This means, you cannot compare a rich and developed country such as the United States to a poor and low quality country such as Brazil. (4)R.3 “Follow my logic. A ban is controlling/commanding something based on the definitions”Not exactly, I showed earlier how this is bad conduct and are not the same definitions. In my argument, I took the definition that my opponent showed me. My argument in regards to control stands. ArgumentsC.1 Hawaii has shown gun control worksThe Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence ranks Hawaii's gun laws as the fifth strongest in the nation. Yet is has lots of gun control. You need a permit, the seller needs a permit, the authorities need to know when you have a gun etc etc. . . (5)Yet it ranks one of the lowest in gun control. This is pretty clear and is common sense. It is best to carefully examine the person to ensure that the person would not commit any crimes. With this severe gun control laws, Hawaii has shown us how gun control works. C.2 Further evidence showing that gun control works In 2012-13, Britain had 87 gun deaths, more than half using shotguns; of them, 45 were suicides, nearly two-thirds of them using shotguns. Firearms offences have been brought down from 25,000 in 2002 to fewer than 10,000 in 2011. (6)Yet, Britain has one of the most strict gun laws. Truly, with can expect less gun violence to occur with more gun control making it harder for people to get guns.
