Gun control

Well seeing as though pro forfeited the last round, there is nothing I can argue against in round three. I want to paint a little image in your head for right now. Imagine you're sitting in your house watching television and you hear someone kick your door in and they begin to walk around your house. You're positioned in your bedroom and you know that you have a gun in your nightstand but you have a phone on your nightstand. Which do you choose a gun or a phone? I want you to remember this example for later as it will become clear as to why I stated this question.In 1982, a little suburd located in Kennesaw, GA passed a law that required the heads of every household to keep at least one firearm in their house at all times. According to the statistics taken up that same year, the residential burglary rate was dropped by 89% and was compared to the modest 10.4% drop in Georgia as a whole. Fast forward ten years to 1991 in the same suburb, the burglary rate was still 72% lower than it had been in 1982. As you can see, letting that suburb keep a gun in all households helped that suburb prevent crimes in their suburb. Now imagine what it would be like if that law applied to everyone that had a house in the United States. Our crime rate would be lower than it has ever been because everyone would be able to protect themselves against thieves.According to the GOA, "Nationwide. Statistical comparisons with other countries show that burglars in the United States are far less apt to enter an occupied home than their foreign counterparts who live in countries where fewer civilians own firearms." This shows that thieves are less likely to enter a household that contains a gun because they know they would get shot by the home owner and could potentially die or go to jail.Let me go back to the GOA for this next part, "Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606)." These statistics show that civilians trust guns to save them from thieves and burglars who break into their home. "only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The 'error rate' for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high." This quote shows that even though some times the suspected intruder is not an intruder, the police still fire a whole lot more than the civilian during these types of situations.I would also like to bring up another topic that comes up as controversial to people and that is sexual assault. Its no lie that sexual assault is a horrific crime that no one wants to go through and no one wants to be affiliated with it. However, have you ever thought about how many of these incidents are prevented by the victims? Going back to the GOA, "As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse." This statistic shows that women use guns to protect themselves from sexual assault and if America were to take guns away, this large amount of women would suffer from sexual assault.Let me take you back to the beginning when I asked you all whether or not you would pick a phone to dial 911 or would you pick a gun and shoot the burglar? I would shoot the burglar because I don't know if hes armed and dangerous or if he poses a threat to me and my family.In conclusion, if congress were to put a restriction on guns, our crime rate would reach its peak, congress would violate our freedom by breaking the second amendment, our burglary rates would peak, and their would be more women in the U.S that go through sexual assault.Remember guns don't kill people, people kill people. Saying guns kill people is like saying a car drives drunk or a knife stabs someone.
