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

that is a rediculous arguement, thats like saying, people still murder we may as well make it legal.On the contrary, it's your spelling that is "rediculous". There is no such thing as a "safe" murder, murder inevitably always violates someone's rights. There is such a thing as "safe" Gun ownership which itself violates nobody's rights, your comparison is nonsense.and this is something i dont understand about you americans, why do you want guns so much? Because it is our Constitutional Right. Because they allowed us to earn our independence? Because we have a long and storied hunting culture. the only thing they are there for is to kill and harm othersWell you're ignoring the fact that Guns are also used for sport shooting, and hunting. Not to mention the very fact that someone posses a firearm is often enough to scare off a would-be criminal. If this isn't enough guns have in instances been used to defend one's family against home intruders. They are also a safeguard against tyranny.If criminals aren't following the current gun regulations that we already have, what makes you think they are going to follow a prohibition on firearms? Remember the United States is not an island, we will always have easy access to firearms whether they are legal or illegal.the fact that you have some flimsy piece of paperThis 'flimsy' piece of paper guarantees our rights as citizens, it protects us from our own government and it protects us from foreign governments. It has been the inspiration for other constitutions around the world. It extrapolates the views that unite Americans as a people, and has been instrumental in our rise to dominance as a world power. It is the bedrock of my nation and it ensures my liberty. It may not mean a lot to you, but I defend this "flimsy" piece of paper with my very life, not the paper itself but the ideas and principals that it represents. If you don't understand this, you will never have an understanding that transcends your little cultural bubble.i dont see a single valid reason why you should have a gun and yet there are plenty of reasons that you shouldnt have them.I just listed a bunch of reasons:-We have a Constitutional Guarantee-Recreational Hunting-Sport shooting-Deters would-be criminals-Safeguard against tyranny-Protect homeTo say you didn't see a single reason is to say your eyes were closed. You cannot win a debate with denial. Part of the fear of firearms is with negative cultural associations, particularly with gun crime, but firearms along with just about anything else can be misused, this is not in itself justification to ban or prohibit ownership of such possessions. Knives are used almost as often if not more so in crimes than are guns, the reason nobody is pushing to ban knives is because knives don't have the same negative cultural association guns have.Please give me the reasons you think we shouldn't be allowed to own firearms.the war on drugs we have to fight just like we fight the war on terrorism, it may not be sucessful but its far better than the alternative.I think we should attempt to help drug addicts, but punishing people for an addiction is pure insanity. People are getting locked up even for harmless drugs like Marijuana and yet many more dangerous drugs, more addictive drugs, are completely legal such as prescription drugs. The Drug War, is complete BS, just like your argument.
