Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Guns are need by people outside of the armed forces. If the government told us to turn our guns in it would lead to more violence. Criminals who do not follow the laws will keep their guns or get them illegally. In Australia, the government banned weapons in 1996, after a publicized shooting. Immediately after the ban, armed robberies rose by 73 percent, unarmed robberies by 28 percent, kidnappings by 38 percent, assaults by 17 percent, and manslaughter by 29 percent. The United Kingdom had similar results. We have the right to bear arms and to protect our life and freedom even if you think we don't.

Man were are u from I use a gun just to go buy my grocerys have u ever even been in a life or death situation if it happens then come tell me u don't want a gun if ur alive
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

First of all, crime happens on a daily basis, and while auto insurance is not needed on a daily basis, we have it dont we? Second, having a gun does not lead to violence and gang banging, having a mentality that seeks to force your will on another DOES lead to gang banging and crime. I have had guns my entire life and never had one ounce of desire to harm another. And if you actually think countries that have banned guns have less crime, try living in one. New York and Washington DC are hotbeds of violence and murder and they dont like regular folks to own guns. I will also prove my point to you: Where have you heard of nationally famous shootings? Columbine and Virginny Tech as well as Ohio. Guess what, they were "gun free zones" and idiots demanded gun bans when bans had failed. Where have you never ever heard of a gun rampage? Gun shows. That says something.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Absolutely they should be banned. There are almost no cases where an innocent person has defended themselves with a gun. And sure guns don't kill people, but the death rate would definately go down if people did not have easy access to weapons. I mean look at the VT incident. A college kid, with a clearly bad background record, managed to buy guns and ammo. We outlaw gun's and stuff like that does not happen
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Wrong! Last year 2.5 million people were saved by using a gun for self defense. I don't consider that "almost no cases where an innocent person has defended themselves."

i can prove that here:http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1071444 Oh and i used you in my Bibliography for my essay!
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

i dont even see it could come across the mind of any intelligent person that people who are innocent dont use guns to defend themselves, thats like saying if someone broke into your house to rob you and they didnt know you were there that they wouldnt want to kill you therefore having a gun could protect you from a scared criminal.

Guns are illegal in Chicago.How do you explain Chicago having the highest homicide rate?Don't worry... I'll wait.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Where'd you read that? The NRA Newsletter?Highest gun related death per capita: DC, where guns are legal linkLowest gun related death per capita: Hawaii, where guns are illegal linkAnd see Xaeon's arguement below.Chicago is like 15 on the list. link And considering the poverty rate, and that it's the 3rd largest city (and probably the second most dense) that's actually not bad.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

I find your argument inadequate, circumstantial and irrelevant, comparing overall homicide rates to "gun related" deaths.Chicago is 15 on the list because it's sorted alphabetically... :/BTW, Hawaii's figures rival those of Chicago according to that same list.Of course the lowest gun related deaths will be in the the states where guns are banned, duh.Lowest bun not nonexistent.DC's highest gun deaths per capita coincidences with the fact that guns are legal there, doesn't mean anywhere guns are legal crime rates will be high.Plus the DC area has fewer population so the 'per capita' figure will naturally tend to be higher.Still it does nothing to counter MBurke12's argument.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Actually, if you read the chart I gave you, you'll see that Chicago is ranked 15th. No, that's not just the order it is listed in.Burke's arguement is specifically that places where guns are illegal has more gun deaths. That's his arguement. That's the arguement I answered. That chart shows conclusively that the opposite is true.The graph is based on per capita, so that DC has less people is completely irrevelant. You do know what per capita means don't you? That means it's taking into consideration the population.You are just going to have to face the fact that places where guns are legal, have more gun related deaths.That's the arguement Burke put forth. That's the arguement I rebutted. And the facts show conclusively that I am correct.I'm not sure what your arguement is at all.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Look at some European countries that banned guns. Guess what nothing has changed. If people want to kill they will and they will find a way to get a gun to do so! So you want to get rid of hunting, which is a trillion $ a year industry and if you ban guns millions of jobs would be lost. YOU THINK WE ARE IN A RECESSION NOW! You idiot!
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

in Maryland it is illegal to carry a firearm anywhere but a firing range and your own home. PWND
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

In case you different do other research, Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in the entire country. Crime rates equals criminals which means if guns are illegal, they must be getting them from somewhere, hmmm, i wonder where, black market or illegal selling across borders anyone?
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

ever since we put registration on guns and making guns harder to get school shooting started. we need to allow students to carry concealed guns on campus. with the VT shooting if one student had been allowed to carry a gun on them the shooter would have ended it early and many people would still be alive today. it needs to be a law that we enforce to make every home have at least on gun to protect your self
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Hey I'm all for gun rights but not on campus. Think of all the hormonal students waking up early every morning (god knows what they did last night) and going to class with a sidearm in their jacket. What happens when a fist fight between two boys turns into a shootout. Then the next thing you know someone sees their friend getting shot at and they pull a gun. Next thing you know theres about ten kids with guns drawn shooting at each other. I think that might create a few more deaths on a regulaur basis than once in a schools lifetime a single shooter. But I remeber hearing that in one school shooting students had shotguns in their car that they got to and they brought down the attacker. I think that is acceptable but not unregestered guns in students back pockets.

You live in Holliwood movie I see. But after the movie the actors are alive. In the real world if you have Rambo everywhere you will have killed people everywhere and guess who will be killed - good or bad. Wake up or drink your drugs on time.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Have you actually read the newspaper? There are several cases and some that a gun prevented them from being a dead victim. I speak from experience. As for the easy access of guns, criminals would have access to guns in the black market regardless if they banned guns. Cocaine is illegal but some how people still gain access to it...well, how does that happen?
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

1,145 times a day handguns are used against robbers. 416 times each day women use their handguns to protect themselves from rapists. Overall, a gun in the home is 216 times more likely to be used in self defense than to cause the death of an innocent victim. And even if you don't own a gun, preserving the right of your neighbors to own them is one of the best ways to keep criminals out of your neighborhood.

hey i agree but where did you get your facts from...............................................................
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Well look at prohibtion in 1919 and on, also known as the Volstead act. Alcohol was completely banned yet everybody still drank. They found ways to drink. People had to brew underground, and drink in underground bars, but it happened. Even major Authorities including police and judges were found down there. The same things would happen with guns, and who would be the people to illegally own guns? Not harmless hunters, but gangsters and other criminals who are dangerous with such weapons. It is still going to happen. Maybe we just need tighter gun laws when purchasing them.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

If we outlaw guns that stuff will still happen because they are already illegally getting guns.

His argument sounded much more thought out then yours. I'm just sayin'
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

just because you make it illegal to buy a gun you will never and i mean never get all the guns off the street because the import guns illegally they buy guns without ffa regulation and peple are not stupid and they will find a way to make themselves weapons such as the book writtem by Bill Holmes published in 2002 titled .50-Caliber Rifle Construction Manual
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Look at China, UK, Australia...homicides in general and crime rates have RISEN since their gun bans...yeah sure they're less GUN deaths but they're more DEATHS in GENERAL. Search up "China Stabbings" on how 1 knife killed 11 people.Guns take life, guns save lifes. Having no guns just will cause lives to be lost.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

accoding to my statstics thats still a quater of the american homocide rate. also i dont tink that the knife crime is a valid arguement seing as im pretty sure you get more than 11 rounds in a gun.im not trying to argue that stopping guns will prevent crime, but im pretty sure that if the person in china had had a gun, it would have been a hell of a lot worse
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

No cases where an innocent peson has defended themselves with a guin??????? Either you are under twelve years old or you have done zero research. There are hundreds of thousands of cases of innocent people protecting themselves with guns. Woman agains gun control, the second amendment police department are only two places that will tell you how many times innocent people not only have protected themselves but even assisted the police.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Okay ingenious, let's think about this. So your going to keep Law-biding citizens from accessing guns so all the law breakers can go out and shoot all the law-biding citizens just to simply protect the estimated 5,000 people from getting killed by Gun Shot Wounds, when really you just killed those 5,000 people along with the other 500,000 people that we're law-biding.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Yes guns should be banned in America. In the UK, deaths by guns are a lot lower. The reason is that it's still harder for the average man in the street to obtain a gun. The American Constitution states "The right to bear arms" and the Americans seem to feel really strongly about protecting this right. Obviosly the constitution is held in high esteem to the Americans, based on their history and pride of independence. However you can't hold onto values and laws that have lost their importance or value. At the time of the American Declaration of Independance, which, I imagine would have led to the drawing up of the rules in the constitution, life and times were completely different. Shootings and murder were everywhere, and if I was George Washington writing a proclamation for a new world, then it makes perfect sense to give the citizens of this new world, the right to defend their land, property, and life. And for this reasons Americans have guns. But, if you can't get hold of one, you can't kill someone with it. It's a simple argument really, guns kill.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Guns should be banned and there will be extremely low cases of gun related murder.If guns over the world is banned, we will get world peace for a while.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

That is completely ridiculous. If guns were banned, people would get the elsewhere (ever heard of the black market???) and the law abiding citizens would be defenseless. And world peace??? There is no way that's possible right now no matter what you ban. Guns are not the only way violence is carried out. Do your research.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

people will still get guns and whats going to happen to all the guns all over the world. there will never be world peace. there will always be weapons. people will always kill other people. its as simple as that
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Peace for a while? Is that why we have had wars globally for thousands of years before guns were invented? Is that why schools and churches are shot to pieces and gun shows are not?
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

itz gud 4 everybody cuz it helps u alot on eveyry problem u gt no matter wat
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

i don't think we should ban all guns, but certainly some. if you want to hunt, then go ahead a buy a hunting rifle, but what if the purpose of a gun other then that. getting one for protection is stupid since there are many other options you have before resorting to a gun for protection. think about getting an alarm, moving to a low crime area, or buying a guard dog. i think guns such as AK-47's are overkill and should be banned. do you really need a machine gun to kill a little deer?
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?

Guns are an awful thing. This world would be SO much better without them.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?

Crime and stupid people are such a bad thing. The world would be so much better without either, and the rest of us could own entire armories and never have a problem.

Yes because not only can people kill others they can kill themselves

However, Japan has an extremely peaceful society (except for the Yakuza), and they have a ban on most forms of weaponry.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Japan is also a dictatorship where they work people to death and where if you "dishonor" someone your head comes off. Go live there, at least there are no guns!

Guns should be banned because all it would cause is more crime rates in America and yes i know even if guns get banned people would still find a way to get but at least there won't be so much crime going as it would be if it gets banned
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?

they are killing people. BAN THEM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?

Criminals kill people. Let's ban them. Real affective huh? Guess what dude, I have many guns and I've never hurt a soul. Phooey with your little ban daydream.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Guns don't kill people on their own. People kill people by using guns. And besides, do you think a lot of gang members buy their guns in a gun shop? Nope... Most gun crime comes from gangs and criminals who get their guns illegally. The legal guns are owned by the police, home owners (for protection), and hunters, etc.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

with regards to "guns dont kill people on there own" no the dont however their sole purpose is to kill and without a gun it is harder to kill someone (granted you canuse other weapons however they are generaly less effetive and arentgoing to harm as man people) with regard to the fact that most gun crime is from illegl guns, in that case why not make all guns illegal. i maintain that making guns illegal would make it harder for people to get hold of them.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

But you missed the point that by making guns illegal, criminals are still going to smuggle them as much as they currently do. And their only purpose is not just for killing. I would love to own a gun just for show! Like a vase or a painting. I'd also love to shoot a gun just for fun.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

i only wish all people out there wanted it just for show, then i would have no issue with it. unfortunately im pretty sure that a majority of people want it for other reasons
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Yes and that "other reason" is protection. The only people who would buy a gun in a legal manner for an illegal activity are the kinds of people with nothing to live for or no common sense. Either way, they are not going to use that gun very long.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

of course they kill people. bloody yanks. why is the combined iq of your population 4
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?

so do cars, and stds,and fast food, and radiaton from the sun.lets bann driving and sex and a quick meal and while were at it lets just cover the sun up to.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

thats a niave and stupid comment, while driving etc is dangerous, the sole purpose of a gun is to kill people. cars are useful and when used correctly arent dangerous, could be wrong but im pretty sure without sex we'd become extinct, and without the sun wed dieguns have the sole purpose to kill and theres no need to be allowed
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Look at murder suicide rates other places. It is a no brainer...
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

In England, people have realized that guns just create more violence and therefore, they have banned them. And it did them good. The US's murder rate is 15 times higher of that in England. (That's a lot!!!) Most murders involve guns. The most common argument against banning guns is that people should be able to defend themselves. But most likely they would be defending themselves against guns. But if you got rid of guns, you wouldn't be needing to really defend yourself. Yes people can get get killed other ways too, but guns are the most common way, and guns only are really used for violence. It takes a lot of rage, strength and energy to stab someone, but it only takes a twitch of a finger to shoot someone. GUNS SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

maybe we shouldnt be looking at how people are being killed but who is doing it. fact is go in any prison and what color do you see? black and brown. so if your going to get a handle on violence then get rid of the problem causers not one of our only ways of defending ourselves from them
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Guns dont create violence. they are made of metal and cannot kill anything. If your logic is true then carfs cause drunk driving. In england, they not only prosecute anyone for defending themselves, they also pay the criminals for their defense. You could not pay me to live in England. By the way, there were centureis where guns did not exist, yet people felt the need to defend themselves. Why do you think that is? Because the mind of the criminal is the problem, not the gun. No, guns should not be banned, and the day YOU face a violent attacker you will learn that the hard way.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: yes

Although bearing arms is a right in America according to the constitution, it should still be illegal! the U.S. constitution is broken beyond repair! Guns are becoming more easier to purchase and people are becoming more insane.humans are killing more innocent people everyday! the only proper way to stop this epidemic would be to ban guns from all local citizens and only give guns to military or law enforcement!
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

great idea! go run for senate. so what do we do with att the guns people have now? o lets go to their house and get them. ya thatll work since some of the people that own guns illegally dont even have a ss# cuz they snuck over here. police are not your personal body gaurd, it is your responsability to protect yourself. lets say 6 gangbangers jump you? they have no guns. just bats. what do you do? band baseball. ignorance isnt bliss
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Does that means the freedom of speech should be banned what about religion and right to an attorney i guess that means we shouldn't have any of these either. Actually violent crime rates are going down will more an more people are owning guns.

have any of you actually SEEN Bowling for Columbine???????
