You truthfully shouldnt raise the age of driving because once you get your liscence you gain more responsibility and can get a job and go different places.

Side: No

Well I think that it should not be raised because it will just make good drivers have to wait two more years, but there already ready and they will just have a good two years but they won't be able to go and have adventures around the world. they like to feel like they have responsibilities and trust me i know i have 17 year old and he's been driving for a year and haven't got into one accident he's very responsible and is a good kid.
Debate: Should the driving age be raised to 18?
Side: No

The driving age should be raised for these reasons: 1) teenagers are young and reckless. they don't know the significants to driving or anything, they are just kids. 2) they cause 2.5% of accidents in California. it may not seem alot but those number can and will be adding up if we let this go any longer.

Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

first i want to say "Uh, totally" sounds very immature.I think that it is way to easy to get weapons in America. This is because of the "Old West" when it was the "good guy" and the "bad guy". Now it is not that simple; in the "Old Wild West" you had to have a weapon because you could be attacked by Nativ Americans (who was protecting there lands which where stolen from them). Now a days the "enemy" can be anyone and everyone (over 21+) can have a weapon. The thing that happen is that we get more weapons to protect our selfs from people with weapons, so we just keep getting more and more weapons. This leads to us always being afraid over "What was that in the garden, SHOOT IT!" and end up killing you're friends and civilians. I think that we must get a much stronger gun registration.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Guns aren't only for "self defense". Most gun owners are hunters or they participate in shooting sports. In some cases, the gun is how some family's survive. Some people can't afford to buy food they they hunt deer and other game. I'm currently a gun owner and i use them for shooting sports, like target shooting.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Regulation or restriction on the sale should be imposed, a ban isn't going to work anyway, as much as drugs are banned, they are still circulating the streets. Gun sale should be controlled and only those who gone through testing and training should be allowed guns.

Just ban them. If someone can come up with a reason for guns besides putting holes in things you don't want alive then I'm all ears.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Sports, like target shooting. Target shooting is also a great way to relive stress because you have to focus completely to take a strait shot. Secondly, Hunting, while it may still be used to kill something, its for a good cause. Many family only have enough meat to eat because someone in their family can go out and catch game. It can save allot of money for their families.

Wow alright. I'm not even going to try and communicate to you. Hey gun owners! Read the above for why we think you're dangerous.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

That we use them for legitimate reasons and you can't accept that their useful? We're not murderous people, we just hate how everyone thinks they know best to take away our tools that we use daily. Electricity's dangerous and kills people, maybe we should outlaw that.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

You just said you don't mind if people die. Who would be ok with you owning a gun for any reason. You are a murderous person.

I just think that the world is overly populated. Its not that i hope people will die, im just saying that you can't worry about every single life. No i'm not a murderous person, your the hostile one who jumps to conclusions. You assume everyone's going to do the worst when your the one that messes up society by accusing them of everything.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?

Ya your right. I shouldn't assume people you say they don't mind if tens of thousands of people die isn't a bit fucked up.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Well you can think anything you'd like, but your so set on your views that you can't stop to consider the other side. You seem to think that all the guns that around are murderous assault weapons. They aren't. I personally use a bolt action rifle.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Technically, the government cannot ban the sale of all guns to civilians in the U.S. Not constitutionally anyway. However, if you mean that the government should repeal the 2nd amendment to the constitution of the U.S., hell yes! This specific amendment has long outlived its use. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."States now have an all volunteer full time armed forces, known as the national guard. Nowhere in the 2nd amendment does it state that the right to bear arm is to protect against a tyrannical U.S. government, as some gun rights advocates claim. In fact, this is considered treasonous. The reason many are willing to keep their guns till death (i.e. ...from my dead cold hands) is due to fear. For most of these people, guns have been the security blanket from childhood on against unsubstantiated threats that are primarily produced and maintained by the media. Many minority groups have been used to justify such unsubstantiated threats, but none like the blacks. Blacks remain the ongoing bogymen that keep many gun lovers awake at night and scared during the day.It is illogical to continue to allow guns to proliferate to an extent that our existence is threatened just so that we can appease a few who have failed to outgrow their childhood fears.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Yes. Government should ban the sale of guns. People they don't know when to use guns and to who? They use it where ever they are just to be seeing a giants/bosses. If you check now from the South of America there are shooting each and every week because of legalizing guns for safety. People die like birds in a painful way. Young pupils carry guns at school, colleges and university to scary the opponent which is a bad reputation in a society. Government and it's cabinet should take this problem further before it becomes a horrible united states of Guns not united states of America.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Yes! 21% of the USA have guns, and a part the 21% are going to belong to gangs. Selling guns legally makes it much easier for gangs to acquire them. However, there are some important uses for guns. Self Defense(especially in big cites, such as Washington DC and New York) and hunting.So I believe people should only be able to acquire one with a license.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Absolutely, simply because guns kill innocent people. Do you see people walking around with guns in places like Blackpool no. Where as in places like Houston and Austin people just walk around with guns. I totally agree with the fact that guns do not cause the damage it's the person holding it which causes the damage.But still just being able to walk around public places in America with a gun increases the risk of someone being seriously injured or even killed. Which is the main reason why I think people should not be aloud to purchase guns In america or any other place in the world simply because of that risk.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Yes because people buy guns for what reason? To kill. if it is against the law in kill, it should be against the law to own guns, since they are made to kill. people sometimes argue against me with "hands also can kill". but hands are not made to kill. they are made to hold things, open things, etc. Unless your are a certified hunter or law enforcement , carrying a gun around shouldn't be legal.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the exact reason why the majority of all countries worldwide despise America. The idiocy in allowing pretty much ANYONE to have ownership of a gun. Like, wow! How stupid can you get?! The most common perception American see the gun as is a "tool to protect with", but guess what?!? You would not need this "protection" if they were illegal in the first place! The only good use that America's guns would ever do is in the highly unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse. Which, like I just said, is highly unlikely.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a startling revelation for 2015. It is projected that deaths from guns will surpass deaths from car fatalities in 2015. An estimated 33,000 Americans will lose their lives from guns as opposed to an estimated 32,000 Americans who will die in car accidents.The gun violence in America is an American Shame!http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-12-19/american-gun-deaths-to-exceed-traffic-fatalities-by-2015

As a person who doesn't live in America, I can say there's no need for you, as a normal civilian, to own a gun. You simply do not need it. As of now, my country - Denmark, have 1 school shooting in all it's history. The US have had 202 school shootings in just the first four month.All i want to know is why do y'all believe guns are so important?!
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Given recent shootings, such as the one in Connecticut, that wouldn't have happened had the usage of guns been banned in a civilian population. Also, guns cause war, and we want to stop war. Why not just ban guns from American civilian populations?
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

Guns don't cause war. That's like saying a hammer built a house. The people behind the tools cause the war, or build the house. A gun is a tool. Every tool can be misused be it a hammer, chainsaw, or gun. It's the psychopaths that misuse the tool.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

Yes, guns don't cause wars. But they certainly make wars more likely and deadly. A hammer's entire justification for existence is to hit a nail on the head. In comparison, a gun's existence is to kill, namely to kill people. So, stop the BS that guns don't kill. Guns kill, and they kill fast and extremely efficiently!

Ah, but here is the kicker. IT WAS STILL ILLEGAL TO CARRY THAT KNIFE INTO THAT SCHOOL! Yet he did it anyway. It doesn't matter if the knife or gun is illegal, people are still going to do it. I would rather have someone defend themselves against that.

A lot of passionate crimes, serial killers, were done without a gun in most cases. Mass killing is caused by gun, but mass killings are not done with passion but with despair. Passion takes enjoyment and planning.

First of all guns will still be provided to armies and such, you know the people who actually are involved in war? Civilians having guns has nothing to do with war. And yes it would have. Criminals don't obey laws. they would have killed innocent people anyways. Banning the usage of guns would have done nothing to prevent that.

Unfortunately we need hammers to hammer things so we can't ban them. Luckily guns have no other purpose than too kill people so we can do away with them n
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

You could hammer a nail with most handguns. So they're at least as useful as hammers. And what, you've never been hunting before?What, you've never gone shooting before?What, you've never been in a self-defense situation before?Guns have plenty of uses outside homicide.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Uh, totally!

That's your argument. We hammer nails with guns? Really? I'm fine with hunting rifles like the laws in Canada. You don't hunt with handguns. Shooting is stupid. It's not a good excuse for 10,000 dead people a year. Owning a gun makes you 4.2 times more likely to be shot by a gun. It's not good for self defence. Only 0.5% of gun owners say they have scared off someone with a gun (and what % of that is pure delusion). While 67% of crime is committed with a gun. Good trade? Feel safer? Guns put holes in things you want dead. That's it.
Debate: Should The Government Ban The Sale Of Guns To Civilians In America?
Side: Of course not!

It was supposed to be funny. Lighten up a bit, buddy. I know plenty of people who hunt with handguns, or require a sidearm when hunting more aggressive animals. Sport shooting kills 10000 a year?Where did you get the 4.2 times statistic? I'm wondering if it includes self-inflicted injury, in which case that's about as relevant as saying owning a toaster makes you 4.2 times more likely to be burnt by your toaster.As for a gun not being good in self-defense, what would you use in self-defense if confronted with criminal gunmen who were trying to harm you? Just curious. I also don't think you can really reference criminal activity, here. They're breaking the law in the first place. Why would another law suddenly stop them cold? If criminals want guns they'll get guns. Heroin is illegal, do criminals not use, traffic in, and deal heroin because it's illegal? of course not. So why do you think a ban on guns would have a significant impact on criminal gun use? They're already, by definition, law breakers. And yes, guns can be used to put holes in things you want dead. And sometimes I want or could potentially want someone or something dead, so guns are very handy for that.
