Gun control

Thank you. Hope this is a informational and competitive! So I actually agree with you about bans. They don't work and they would be extremely counter-productive. But there are many reasons to increase gun CONTROL, Not gun banning, As you have named this debate after. Of course, By gun control I mean, (and defined by Merriam Webster is): regulation of the selling, Owning, And use of guns. Gun banning is different, And has a completely different definition from gun control. I am going to refute what you have said line by line. Then, If I have enough characters, I will bring up some of my own points. >>Refutations<< ---"With history almost always repeating itself, Gun control would not only be against the second amendment that granted you the right to bear arms" ---------This is an argument that comes up a lot when I debate with people about gun control. They say, "it would violate the constitution. " But my question is always, "why does it matter? " I always ask this, And many people aren't able to give me an answer. That is because there is no impact. So I would love to know an answer if you could supply one. But people still will have the right to bear arms, As long as they aren't insane and are able to pass more rigorous testing. I think we can all agree that we don't want to give people that could be a danger to themselves and others. If you do agree then my point is proven, And if you don't then you are openly supporting school shootings and the average 96 deaths from guns in the US EVERY DAY. ---"It would be a dangerous move that would result in there being more violent crimes in most areas affected by it's jurisdiction. This includes more violent crimes on woman and children. " ---------I mean, To be fair, That isn't true, Plain and simple. When they increased regulations of guns in Australia, The last shooting that they had was in 1996. While in the US, Where the gun restrictions basically don't exist, We have one an average of 1 every month. Xhttps://www. Bbc.

Point Refuted. ---"The reason for this has to do with there being a lack of intimidation on criminals who would want to cause harm to innocent bystanders & individuals. " ---------Can you please explain this part again because I am a little bit confused by the wording. How is it that more gun restrictions would result in more deaths of innocent bystanders and people in general. Here is another statistic about how more gun restrictions resulted in less deaths. Japan has a very strict gun policy, In which you can get a gun after going through, Again, A rigorous process. They are also allowed for hunting as well. They haven't had a shooting is a crazy amount of time. Https://www. Businessinsider.

For these historical reasons, Any ban on currently legal firearms would not only be taking away the rights of a law abiding citizen to bear arms" ---------Again, Not a ban. And still, It isn't stopping people from bearing arms unless they are mentally unstable. ---"But taking the right away from an individual to competently protect himself and his family" ---------I can't stress this enough, Guns cause more deaths than they prevent. Home murders/shooters will not be able to get guns because they won't pass the tests to receive a firearm. Also, Just look at statistics, There are virtually no gun accidents when there are more intense tests. Now I have more characters, So I'm gonna list some of the things that gun banning would help with. Obviously, It would save lives. I already put statistics and links above when responding to your points. Go look at those if you need to. Ultimately, What is left is the fact that there are no downsides to gun restrictions, And your worries about "destroying the 2nd amendment, " don't have an impact. Do you think we can't amend the constitution? We can, And of course we have many times in the past, So we can in the future. Thanks
