Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

No. The problem is not guns and school shootings are not that common compared to car accidents. Should we ban cars? The problem is crazy people and there are better solutions than banning guns. One possible solution is to require guns be kept in a safe when the owner is not near them. If a gun gets stolen because the owner was at work and the gun was not in a safe, for example, and the gun is used in a violent crime, the owner is liable. That is much simpler to implement and more effective since the number of guns in this country is astronomical and the black market will always be able to smuggle guns into the country. But hey..., that's just me ;)

Where is the evidence that banning guns doesn't help. Look at New York City. Is statistically the safest city in America now and it has a the strictest gun laws in the country.

New York's secret to gun violence is cops, not laws ;)New York enforces the gun laws that every state has more effectively, by using more cops in crime areas, it has nothing to do with banning guns.

A 1982 survey of male felons in 11 state prisons dispersed across the U.S. found: • 34% had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"• 40% had decided not to commit a crime because they "knew or believed that the victim was carrying a gun"• 69% personally knew other criminals who had been "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim" crime prevention at its finest

Your citing felons, on stats on people not committing crime? Do you realize how stupid that is.

its felons stating that they or others they know have been stoped from commiting a crime by a gun. not stupid at all really

But theyre felons. So loose gun laws obviously didn't stop them dummy. That's why they're felons.

Lol you're right. Your point in leprechauns and unicorns had a lot to do with gun control. The point is. You're not ver intelligent. Which explains why you have a warped idea of what the world really is. Also why facts don't seem to phase you.

Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

Sarcasm is when you attempt to insult someone in a way that is less than obvious thus keeping them oblivious to the insult and there by adding even further to it by making them look stupid. And my age is not your concern

That's not sarcasm. Also was saying I see fairy's your attempt at not obviously insulting me?? Lol you're truly awful.

And btw. Just because they call something "just facts" doesn't mean it Isn't biased. The conservative paper is called the Sun. It doesn't make it the actual sun.

there's also information that could be used to support gun control arguemnts. its just theres more evidence against it because more evedence exsists that refuts it than supports. PS when did you quote the FBI the only facts i remember you bringing to the tabe are that Britain and canada have gun control
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

So you're admitting there is less evidence to support you the help lol?The 4.2 times more likely to be shot than those not carry a weapon is from the FBI.

It's a video from Alex Jones. How much more bias could it be. Dolt.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

No! Banning the sales of guns to civilians will only make it that much easier for criminals and "Adam Lanza" type people to obtain them. In reality, there is not a lot of shootings, we hear about them BECAUSE they are rare. Giving guns to good people can protect families and CHILDREN from bad people
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

If the government decides to take guns away it will more than likely cause a civil war or a revolution and I doubt most of the people in the military want guns taken away, so who is the government going to have take the guns away? And there's always room in the black market for guns.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Well, guns should not be banned for the same reason people need them for many guns are used for protection. Some people say that guns should be banned but what difference will it make. Most of the people who do bad with guns get them illegally so what difference will it make if guns are banned. Both those who do bad and who do good with it will have to get it illegally and our crime rate will increase rappidly.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

No way! there is a law in the constitution in the second amendment saying that all men have a right to take up arms.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Banning guns wont do anything except create more trouble. When things become banned or not made anymore they become more valuable, which means more and more people are going to want them. Not every killer uses an AR-15 to kill some one thats just what everyone has in mind as a killer weapon. Anyway if they did ban guns from people who go and get a background check to get one, what would stop people who buy or get the guns free from the black market, nothing. If someone wanted to kill a shit load of people in a classroom they could do it easily by like picking up a pair of scissors and killing them. nothing will stop killing, death is everywhere, everyday is a chance you may die or live that simple
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Guns are an important part of life in America. Just because a select few have mental problems and go off killing people, it does not mean all target shooters, hunters, and gun owners should be penalized. Currently there are tons upon tons of gun laws already in place that make it difficult to purchase fire arms (at least here in Connecticut). The U.S. Government just needs to enforce the laws that are already in place. F.Y.I here in Connecticut we have some of the strictest gun laws in the country and the Newtown shooting still happened. Its not the guns that kill people, its the people who use them.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

If we want to loose more lives fine. Chichago IL has strict gun rules, the people can't have them, and they have a very bad crime rate. Other cities, that are big in size, have no gun restrictions and a low crime rate.See the connection?
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Definitely no!!! Yes, guns help kill people, but one of the things stated in the constitution was the right to bear arms, and you cannot go back on it!!!

just found this website info is supper helpfull some is a little dated but not too much so 80s at the oldest http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp#crime
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

The best part about that is you glossed over all the info that completely refutes everything you're saying. If only 0.5% of the population has ever used a gun to prevent a robbery then they aren't doing shit.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Consider 67% of crime is committed with a gun. That's a pretty awful fucking trade
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

yes 67% of crime IS commited with a gun this is true but most of those guns are usually obained illegaly
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

i didnt gloss over any thing i just copyd it there and pasted it here.

0.5% of only 4,977 houses hardlly the whole country my friend

Side: Uh, totally!

Ok. So that's an inaccurate sample size? So the stat means nothing lol. It was your stat.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

The stat was meant to show you that guns DO have an actual self defense role.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

What the stat shows me is that the trade off between 67% of crime being committed with guns and 0.5% being stopped by them. Is a terrible trade off.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Yes but most guns used in crimes are obtained illegally so what would gun control do to stop that? Nothing it would just leave the good guys defenseless.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Most illegal guns are stolen from people who obtained them legally. So if they didn't have them. Neither would the criminals.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Actually there's this whole crime called illegal gun trafficking where guns are sold to,criminals under the table and with no serial number so the gun cannot be traced to any one so even if guns are made illegal that will still continue to happen face it your argument is doomed to fail simply because its inescapably based on the naive premiss that criminals follow the law. With they don't by the way hence the name criminal
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

I'll say it again. A great deal of "illegal" guns were obtained legally then stolen. Meaning if they weren't obtained legally. They wouldn't be available illegally. There is gun smuggling sure. A small part of the overall picture, but why not make a huge improvement.I've already proved guns don't make you safer. So what argument do you have that they serve any purpose?
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

You do know percentages don't go up when you increase the sample size right?
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Look if they had done a nation wide study I'm sure that number would have been higher because they would have been working with more people. What I'm saying is they only chose to work with a small chunk of people so of that small chunk only 0.5% had used a gun in defense of their or another's life but if they had broadened their servay they may have talked to more who had also used a gun in defense of there or another's life and the percentage should have been higher
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Do you not get how percentages work? It wouldn't have been higher. It would have been 0.5% of a larger sampling. You're just presuming it would be more. It could easily have been less. That's why you take sample sizes. 0.5% is the number. 67% of crime is committed with a gun. End of story.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

Guns obtained illegally. Because then they can't be traced to the user legal sales have no effec on crime period.

Theodore Roosevelt said it best "the rifle is like the ballot in that its usefulness relies soully apon the character of the user"
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

If you want civilians to be defenseless in the event of armed conflict, then yes. Otherwise, no. The thing that I find to be most ridiculous about this hotly-debated issue is the idea that it's better for guns to be in the government's hands then regular civilians...as if government officials have a different moral fabric than a regular civilian. Who's to say that if the government has most / all of the guns they won't use them for evil? History shows how ridiculous that idea is.

Trying to get all gun away from the people will just start riots and it well turn into a civil war millions of people well get killed.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

1) It's a violation of the constitution; which in itself is illegal (2nd amendment )2) This would probably create a multi billion dollar black market industry for guns all over America, while giving criminals more power too.3) Personally I think it's not the guns themselves but the overall accessibility and lack of safety measures (background checks...etc) we have that really gets people killed.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

While I do not like guns and do not desire to own one, an outright ban wouldn't be constitutional, it probably wouldn't prevent criminals from obtaining them illegally, and legal availability of guns is not a primary factor in determining violent crimes. The only form of increased gun regulation I support is applying state regulations to gun shows. You shouldn't find it easier to purchase a gun at a gun show then at a gun store in the same state.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

The job of the government is to protect the people and pass laws and regulations that support and uphold the constitution. While many will say that guns are dangerous, it is simply a constitutional right that the government must protect. To completely ban the sale of guns to citizens would take away a key right given to us in the constitution and would lead us down a dangerous road. That being said, I am all for increasing the background checks and strengthening the process to get guns. But completely banning them is not going to happen.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

Yes I think the government should be able to monitor suspicious individuals because we as civilians need an amount of protection. The government has a lot of technology to either invade our privacy or protect us from people that may be harmful. I think we should be thankful that someone is watching and could protect us. At the same time most people may not like the idea of being watched. But if you are doing nothing wrong then you should have no problem of knowing someone could be watching you. Because they only watch you if you have done something wrong. I do not like government and or some of our leaders. But I am some what thankful we have at least someone looking over us.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

"But if you are doing nothing wrong then you should have no problem of knowing someone could be watching you."Totally agree.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

Only if the government has legitimate and substantial evidence that a person is committing a crime should they monitor them secretly. When this sort of power is available to the government they should be responsible enough to not abuse their power and use it only when absolutely necessary.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: No

No matter what the government will abuse this law and end up putting cameras every where. There is no way to really monitor the suspicious people.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

I think the government should be able to secretly monitor people that are legitimately a threat. The government should focus more on meth labs and crack houses before sending out the police force to gaurd our streets from 16 year old potheads who aren't hurting anyone. The government already monitors us without or permission, they just aren't helping because they are focusing on the unimportant aspects of crime. But if they really think someone is a threat to society, yes, I think they should be able to monitor them.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

"The government should focus more on meth labs and crack houses before sending out the police force to gaurd our streets from 16 year old potheads who aren't hurting anyone."Hah.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

I do believe that the government should be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals. Their job is to make sure that society is safe and protected and if it means that they should monitor those who look suspicious, then that's what they should do. However, I do believe there is a limit to their watchings; they shouldn't monitor individuals when they are changing/using the restroom/showering, although they could be committing clandestine wrong doings.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

I believe that we should be monitored to an extent. If the government were to monitor the important things then it should not matter. If a person has done some wrong doing then they should be caught. And if that means invading someone's privacy then so what.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

Everyone deserves rights, and the government should respect those rights. But, when someone does something that is suspicious or might be harming the good of our country than they waive that right. They no longer have it, for the country must protect its citizens.
Debate: Should the government be able to secretly monitor suspicious individuals?
Side: yes

I feel that if the government thinks that you are suspicious of something that threatens the U.S., that you should be monitored. They can do the whole phone tapping deal and have the van that sits out in front of their house, as long as the government does what they say they will do, which is to keep us safe from terrorist and other people like that
