Side: NO

Show me where banning guns has reduced any gun homicides.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Australia. do you believe banning guns will increase gun homicides?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

What about the Aussies ? How well do their gun confiscation go when it came to criminals with guns ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

You asked where banning guns reduced gun homicides. I gave you a country: Australia. I thought we were talking about gun homicide. Why are you talking about gun crime?..
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

No gun homicide happened in Australia after gun confiscation ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Let me remind you again what you wanted me to provide. You asked where does banning guns reduce gun homicide.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Banning guns does not prevent any gun crime but if it does give me the countries where it does.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

It sure helps in civilised countries :) How come there are no school shootings in my country ? Or no cops shooting unarmed citizens ?No digruntled citizens going on solo gun sprees ? Oh I know beacause we don't have easy access to guns :)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

In your country criminals can't get their hands on weapons ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Its hilarious how many different ways you fail to miss each point , I don't even know what you're talking about anymore and I honestly don't think you do as you're making no sense at all .
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Its hilarious how many different ways you fail to miss each point because you have no proof banning guns keep guns out of criminals hands.So what is banning guns all about in your mind ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

You really don't make sense about your banning guns argument because it does not work.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

It is hilarious that your wanting banning of guns does not keep criminals from guns ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

It's hilarious that you cannot honestly answer the question as asked , do you even remember what it was :) Let me help you ....Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

It's hilarious that you cannot honestly answer this question as asked "Does an individual any individual not have the right to protect themselves , their family and their property from an armed intruder" ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Now you're just being childish , does an individual not have the right to protect themselves from a foreign invasion ?Why cannot citizens purchase rocket launchers and fighter airplanes just in case :)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

You said originally ....Show me where banning guns has reduced any gun homicides.You were shown where and you're still denying the facts , why hurt ego maybe ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Banning guns has not reduced any gun homicides and if it has give me one country in the world with zero gun homicide.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Ah so the Australian stats are wrong now ? And now you want a country with zero gun homicide why ? So you want the freedom to own a gun and yet you're wanting examples of countries without gun homicide again why ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Does Australia not have any gun violence after gun confiscation ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

That is not the argument I was expecting at all. So , if we have 10 marbles in bag and I remove 3 marbles, the total amount of marbles was not reduced ? Why do you want a country with zero gun homicide?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

But can't give any evidence that banning guns will ever stop gun violence.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Where did I say that banning guns will stop gun violence? (zero gun violence rate: Liechtenstein. But I really do no see the relevance of citing a country with zero gun violence)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

One country keeps guns out of the hands of criminals but what about the rest of the world ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

You only asked for one....You need to go over what you are arguing... Because I never spoke of zero gun violence until you challenged me to look it up.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Banning guns are a prevention to gun violence ? You only gave one case in point.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

You only asked for one. And I can give you more but it is useless because it is not the point I am trying to defend. I originally asked you to explain to me why I am wrong. All you did is ask me to show you banning guns reduces gun homicide. I gave an example. Then you changed subject.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Do you understand banning guns does not work for the criminal element of society ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

I do, I said it. (I edited my previous argument because it sounded aggressive. But you answered already. )
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

You said "I do" then what is the reasoning behind banning guns ? I know what it is but what say you.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

My original statement was the following: we cannot deny that banning guns reduce gun homicide.Edited. I am tired
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Well now banning guns has no effect on gun violence ? WOW ....................
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Am I having a stroke ? What are you saying ? Where did I say that ? That is the complete opposite of what I've been trying to show you! I am going to assume that you just have no defense because you've been saying nothing. It is quite disappointing because I was actually curious to know why you disagreed in the first place.I will just ask someone else
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

You are stroking out because you have no defense that banning guns works ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

I do have defense. You asked for one and I gave it. You even admitted it showed that banning guns could reduce gun homicide.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

No defense means banning guns does not work. So the real reasoning behind banning guns is what ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Again you're totally missing the point because by ignoring the facts you think in some way aids your case , criminals are not the bulk of the population and they are the ones carrying out crime because they obtain guns illegally ; they carry out crime by using guns which you want everyone in society to have why ?Citizens without guns are the reason my country is 12th in the world regards a peaceful society thus proving the point that unarmed citizens are indeed more conducive to a peaceful society than armed ones , unless of course you wish to argue that gun ownership make society more peaceful .....
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Guns are not responsible for the violence in the U.S. The fact is we are violent by nature, we live war, we love fighting (not saying it's right) guns are simply a tool many use for violence. If there were no guns here it would be bats, knives, bars etc... It wouldn't stop it. Besides the reason we have the 2nd amendment is to protect ourselves from our own government. And if anyone thinks that is not a possible issues in our time that's a fantasy utopia. If you know your history, the first step to placing a tyrannical government is to disarm the populace.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Guns are indeed partially responsible for violence as they are made for the sole purpose of causing injury ; yes humans are indeed violent by nature and yes guns are a tool used to gain the upper hand .So are you suggesting if there were no guns were in circulation crime figures would be exactly the same only cared out by different weapons ?Oddly enough this phenomenon is not prevelant in mostly gun free Europe as I don't see a spate of violence by people brandishing clubs , knives , bars , etc ,etc .Are you honestly uggesting the reason the US does not have a tyrannical government is because the citizens are allowed own guns ?Do you honestly think an unorganised mostly untrained population could even challenge a highly trained US military if your leader was indeed tyrannical ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I'm not ignoring any facts at all. Banning guns does not prevent gun crime . Maybe you should accept that fact.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Well yes you are , what you claim as fact is merely just your opinion and lamentably typically American where otherwise sane people have this absurd relationship to the love of guns .What you claim as fact is backed up by nothing except your opinion which is meaningless against available evidence which demonstrates your assertions are merely ill informed and smack of desperation on your part to make a point .....From the Guardian .......Since major gun law reforms were introduced in Australia, mass shootings have not only stopped, but there has also been an accelerating reduction in rates of firearm-related homicide and suicides, a landmark study has found.It has been two decades since rapid-fire long guns were banned in Australia, including those already in private ownership, and 19 years since the mandatory buyback of prohibited firearms by government at market price was introduced. A handgun buyback program was later introduced, in 2003.It took one massacre: how Australia embraced gun control after Port Arthur Read moreResearchers from the University of Sydney and Macquarie University analysed data on intentional suicide and homicide deaths caused by firearms from the National Injury Surveillance Unit, and intentional firearm death rates from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. For the period after the 1996 reforms, rates of total homicides and suicides from all causes were also examined to consider whether people may have substituted guns for alternative means.From 1979 to 1996, the average annual rate of total non-firearm suicide and homicide deaths was rising at 2.1% per year. Since then, the average annual rate of total non-firearm suicide and homicide deaths has been declining by 1.4%, with the researchers concluding there was no evidence of murderers moving to other methods, and that the same was true for suicide.The average decline in total firearm deaths accelerated significantly, from a 3% decline annually before the reforms to a 5% decline afterwards, the study found.In the 18 years to 1996, Australia experienced 13 fatal mass shootings in which 104 victims were killed and at least another 52 were wounded. There have been no fatal mass shootings since that time, with the study defining a mass shooting as having at least five victims.The findings were published in the influential Journal of the American Medical Association on Thursday, days after the US Senate rejected a string of Republican and Democrat measures to restrict guns. The reforms were proposed in response to the deadliest mass shooting in US history, at an LGBTI nightclub in Orlando.The 1996 reforms introduced in Australia came just months after a mass shooting known as the Port Arthur massacre, when Martin Bryant used two semi-automatic rifles to kill 35 people and wound 23 others in Port Arthur, Tasmania. The reforms had the support of all major political parties.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

When you can prove banning guns prevents gun violence and keeps guns out of the hands of criminals then you might have a point.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Dear oh dear , you really do have a problem with comprehension don't you ? Maybe you should read what I just posted ... yet again .. bet you still won't get it :)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

You have zero proof that banning guns keeps guns away from criminals and you have no proof of it.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

You really are a strange individual I think it's 6 times now you've been told that criminals get access to guns illegally , your solution seems to be to allow everyone including would be criminals easy access to guns by having no ban to make them more accessible because it would in some strange way known to you and a sizeable proportion of fellow Americans make society better .... oookay I know it's really mean of us us to have a ban on guns as it makes it so hard on hard working criminals who have to struggle to get them illegally :)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Now criminals get access to guns so banning guns doesn't work.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

That is an interesting point..."Do you honestly think an unorganised mostly untrained population could even challenge a highly trained US military if your leader was indeed tyrannical ?"
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

If the government was so bad that people needed to revolt, they would have the support of some leaders within the military. This is the way our revolts happen. It's how we revolted against the Brits, and it's how the South revolted against the North.If it ever happened again, whomever is revolting would not have the same kind of access to weapons for arming those joining the revolt. Just as the 2nd Amendment recognizes, those people could already be armed.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

This point seems to be made all the time by pro gun supporters as if the general population were somehow a match for the American military

Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

US culture is actually more violent than a lot of other developed nations. Our crime rates are higher across the board. But we have a culture legal gun ownership as well. Which means that trying to take guns away would turn law abiding citizen into criminals as they would refuse. Violent society will find away. I'm thinking of Ireland in the 70s and 80s. Was it a perfect little war without guns?The value of guns and gun ownership varies by geography and culture. Consider Switzerland. They have lots of guns and lots of peace. Now consider Syria. The point is that guns aren't the problem and there absence is not the solution.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Ireland had its problems in the North of Ireland which was hardly a war , and far from perfect whatever that means .Guns are not a problem so why are they banned in most countries ? Would the introduction of guns improve our societies then and if so how ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

My reference to perfection was in response to your statement about your country functioning perfectly.Guns are not banned in most countries. That's a strange thing to say.The question is not whether the introduction of guns would be good for society, society has guns. The question is whether they should be banned in the US, to which I would say no. The country would burn if you tried.Some countries would likely do just as well with or without guns. Countries with low crime levels and a culture of peace are going to start shootings each other just because they have guns. They don't stab each other with readily available knives.The problem with banning guns is that it doesn't actually eliminate them. It's just words. Words that need to be enforced at the point of a gun.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

I didn't say or use the word perfectly ? You do know when I say guns I'm talking about the carrying of handguns and not licences granted for sportsmen/ women and hunters , or is this the usual attempt to muddy the waters ?The carrying and possession of handguns by the ordinary citizen is indeed banned in most countries .How do you know the country would burn if guns were banned ?It worked in Australia and it wasn't enforced at the end of a gun .
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I didn't say or use the word perfectly ?"How come even the police force in my country do not carry guns guns and yet the country functions perfectly ?"How can I muddy the water by you not clarifying handgun when you say gun? Most guns are rifles and just as lethal. You think it's better where they tend carry AK rifles more than handguns? Nonetheless, it's still not the case that it's banned in most countries. It's a big world outside of Europe.How do you know the country would burn if guns were banned ?Because banning them would not get rid of them for one. And most law abiding citizens in the rural area (which are vast) have them and would fight to keep them. It's part of the culture. The right to defend yourself is taken seriously here. Especially where cops are half a county away.It worked in Australia and it wasn't enforced at the end of a gunIt wasn't enforced at the point of a gun? So people who carry guns in Australia are arrested by cops just asking politely? If their culture is that peaceful, guns were never a problem.Why is a 9mm in a rifle not as bad as a 9mm in a handgun? How does a ban get criminals to give up their guns? Did banning drugs get rid of marijuana? No, it just made a black market for people to kill each other over. If we tell drug runners that they can no longer have guns OR run drugs, do you think they would stop doing both?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Yes I accept I used the word perfectly which is incorrect ( my apologies ) as no society functions perfectly .Yes I'm glad you agree that's guns are lethal no matter the type which makes it all the more unbelievable that one thinks their inclusion in society is somehow beneficial , I don't think one finds many citizens walking down a Main Street with a rifle thus the mention of handguns . Ok let's take a country with a population of over a billion China where ownership is prohibited ,maybe then move on to another large country like India prohibited , and we could do it all night and I think you will find that the majority of people worldwide are not allowed what Americans see as a right .Banning them would indeed get rid of a fair proportion of them especially if the penalties for possession were severe , I find this right to protect oneself typically American and ridiculously over the top . Ah so in Australia they enforced gun laws at the point of a gun , please tell me how this was done ax you seem remarkably well informed on the matter ? The culture was not that peaceful when they had looser gun laws it is now though since sweeping changes came into being regarding gun law , proving guns were indeed a problem .Why not do a bit of research instead of just inventing something to suit your narrative ? Here we go again with the much loved rather lame defence by gun supporters as in how does a ban stop criminals getting guns , well for one it makes it more difficult for them or do you also dispute this ?Also why are you so concerned about criminals with guns when mostly they slaughter each other do you honestly give a fuck ?It's baffling to most people in gun free societies to watch an assortment of American politicians and media savvy individuals explain away the latest slaughter in an American school by a gun toting disgruntled employee , they scratch their collective heads in bewilderment at how this could possibly happen and blame everyone and everything but guns ,normally their commentary is finished with the hilarious ... guns don't kill people , people kill people .......Bans don't work ? We banned cigarette smoking in pubs and restaurants over here 100 per cent effective so far , so your solution is ban nothing make all drugs legal to everyone and likewise guns ? Why stop there why not allow citizens own missiles , bombs poisions just in case of threats from hostile forces ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

which makes it all the more unbelievable that one thinks their inclusion in society is somehow beneficialAgain, it’s not a question of whether or not guns are beneficial, it’s a question whether banning guns in the US is something that should be done. Many things are not beneficial, such as processed sugar or milk chocolate, but we wouldn’t ban them.To make my point about countries and gun ownership, allow me to provide a source. Try it sometime.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overviewofgunlawsbynation#ComparisonMost countries do not ban guns. Legal gun ownership does not correlate with homicide in the US. Gang land murders, the most common source of homicide by firearm, are committed with illegal weapons. Police are already trying to take them away from people. Usually these are people who are already banned from having a gun, and yet they have them.Gun ownership is high in Switzerland, and the violent crime rate is low. This is because guns are not the source of the trouble, culture is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverviewofgunlawsbynationAh so in Australia they enforced gun laws at the point of a gun , please tell me how this was done as you seem remarkably well informed on the matter ?Perhaps you suppose that when people illegally keep their guns, unarmed police just go and ask politely for them to give it up. It’s not a hard concept, laws are enforced at the point of a gun. There is an unspoken threat of violence if you do not comply with laws. It's baffling to most people in gun free societies to watch an assortment of American politicians and media savvy individuals explain away the latest slaughterhttp://archive.is/f4gbvI’ll just leave this here.
