Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: Yes

The responsible gun owners that you are talking about, might not necessarily THEMSELVES using guns. Womens and even CHILDREN in those houses feel like using those deadly toys and even try shoot at someone. I am not saying all this in fluke. Just click on the evidence below.http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE4DD1031F933A15754C0A965958260 After reading this, you might raise another point that the owners should be responsible and keep guns away and keep them safe.BLAH BLAH!But, then just answer this, ISN'T IT BETTER NOT TO BUY GUNS RATHER THAN BUYING AND HIDING IT FROM WRONG HANDS?
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: Yes

Responsible gun owners know how to protect their guns from harmful use.

Side: No, guns don't kill people.

In the old days KIDS went hunting and guns were a part of life, we had no issues with guns in the house.Now with the gun grabber attitude yes there is a problem, return guns and teachings about guns to our kids to be responsible. My 3 kids are pro gun and they know how to use them responsibly. FACT, your kids may need some work.

"Presence of guns around us just provide an acceleration to this kind of a thinking and encourages us to act upon him and kill that person."All that means is there is two less idiots in the world. Wait let me rephrase that, one less idiot and one less person that has the tendencies to commit murder.win win in my opinion.And Virginia Tech was not an "incident," it was a massacre. If all the students had also had guns then there is no way that asshole could have killed as many innocent people as he did. My condolensces to the families of the victims.

I would agree with you if you can 100% control all the guns out of criminals hand, including US government. If you think the government is awesome and do everything right for you and to you, then you are blind 110% of the time, all the time, everytime. Says who? Says me, former information security engineer.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Of course guns kill people, but that doesn't mean that they should be banned. Knives kill people, cars kill people, Big Macs kill people, but should they be banned as well?First of all, it would be impossible to ban guns and expect that they would all be taken off the street. They are too prolific in America now and there's no turning back.Second, guns serve a great purpose in many cases, people just need to be educated on proper gun safety. Additionally, we should do more to ensure the people who are getting guns are capable of handling them and are not likely to go kill someone with it.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: It doesn't make a difference

Well a gun is different than big macs and knives, because a gun was solely designed to kill things. And when someone says guns don't kill people, people do, that's like saying pencils don't draw, people do. You draw with a pencil. You kill with a gun.It would be impossible to get rid of guns. Of course it would be a bad thing because people love their guns for hunting, killing, etc. If your "great purpose" of guns is death, than yes, they do serve a purpose. It's my personal belief that violence and hate only results in more violence and hate. If America stopped killing people, no one would hate us. The two reasons why people use guns in America:1. Get things like money, power, respect (kill people, hold up stores, stuff like that)2. Protect us from each other because we want money, power, etc. If we all had equal money, power, and respect, there wouldn't be any competition, therefore no hate, no greed, etc. We can outlaw guns all we want, but we're always gonna find ways to kill people. You gotta attack the root of the emotion that makes people want to use guns to make people realize gun's won't get any real work done.

Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Your speaking like a communist. "If we all had equal money, power, and respect, there wouldn't be any competition, therefore no hate, no greed, etc."If guns were never invented people would use bows, knives and swords to kill people. The two reasons why people use guns in America:1. Get things like money, power, respect (kill people, hold up stores, stuff like that)2. Protect us from each other because we want money, power, etc. If we all had equal money, power, and respect, there wouldn't be any competition, therefore no hate, no greed, etc.Weird, last I heard, people hunt animals with guns."You draw with a pencil. You kill with a gun."You can also draw with a pen, and kill with a knife. Guns and pencils are tools, they have similar tools that can do the same purpose, too. It's the people who pull the trigger, stab the blade, draw on the paper, etc.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: Yes

Houston, your argument is that a gun is a tool and therefore isn't responsible for all the killings. But your point really breaks down when you say that if people didn't have guns they would kill with other things. While it is true that one person COULD kill another with a pencil, the fact is that it is extremely improbable for that to actually happen. The fact is that a firearm ban across the board , except for certain restricted numbers of police officers, would mean far fewer killings. The mass killings that have become such a stable feature of US life would simply stop. You can argue about the feasibility of different ways of approaching a ban, but you can't sustain that an outright ban wouldn't reduce the number of killings dramatically. It is a demonstrable fact that a gun ban results in fewer killing. To dispute that is to be on very poor terms with the truth. I'm not a religious man, but I like v8, book 3, chapter 2, Timothy: He who will not admit the truth cannot be admitted as a true believer. Something like that. The point is that the truth isn't negotiable all the time. Sometimes you're either admitting the truth or your just plain in denial. Which are you?

Alright were talking about America we dont like socialism in America. And for the record people use guns for sport and for hunting.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Sorry but that is bull. Guns are already written into our history and there's no going back after over 200 years of supporting guns just because some people who weren't properly trained in the use and safety of properly handling a firearm. If guns are taken off the market it wont stop people who seek to cause trouble get their hands on a gun, yes it may make it a little more difficult but in the end you are just disarming good citizens who no longer have the ability to defend themselves. And people own guns for more than the two reasons you listed. I own a rifle for hunting, shotgun for bird season, sidearm for personal defense, another sidearm for just shooting and a 22. rifle for the same reason. people have been killing since the beginning of time, before it was guns it was swords, blunt weapons, bows, hell even rocks and bones. Eventually the primary source of inflicting harm could be another weapon or stay at the gun. my point is just outlawing one thing doesn't mean others wont find other ways of hurting one another.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Removing guns from house hold is the worse thing you can do. Let me tell you exactly why as a Information Security Engineer (info sec / IT sec ).1) Law abiding citizen will obey the law. Regardless if you want guns or not, criminals have ways to find one and kill you.2) Guns equalize the situation where cops will take 5 minutes minimum to bring some body bags to your house. You either want to use that body bag or you don't.3) Guns in America was not meant for hunting as a primary purpose. It is your second amendment right / duty to have one as our founding fathers have seen how government abuses its power to fellow citizens. Government should serve people, not the other way around.4) People kill people , not tools kill people. You say all you want that these equipment make it easier for bad people to do harmful things. However, would you also want to get rid of chances for law abiding citizen to defense themselves. If you say the cops can do it then you are delusional. They don't have the jurisdiction to even search you or run to your house to do things on your property. Go find out about the law.5) Countries that have extremely strict gun laws don't really work well either. Japan still has high crime rates, they just hide their news. People still kill each other in many different ways.6) I do agree with fully automatic weapons can be ridiculous since you cannot hit anything accurately and should just spread the harm. However, having a regular semi-automatic firearms should not be excluded in any state or the country. I suggest you go learn about firearms really well before you say stuff. 7) Law enforcement do agree that black rifles do not create crimes. Crimes were made by people who can't afford to have anything. They purchased cheap crappy firearms in black market anyway.All can all. I know that the bad guys will go to your house not mine for sure. Why? Because I am ready to defend myself and my family for the right of life and freedom of speech. Do you like Commie countries? You can go to China and see how that feels.Educate your children about firearms and proper manner in society is the key. Firearms are not the problem. US government themselves deals more than any other agencies in the world. Go figure!

Communist these days are just a label on top of a country that has government placing crazy amount of restrictions to shape a society into something. But yes, I still say that word because it is absurd to tax civilian 50% plus on the middle class income. Go figure!

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

You're so right. Let's say we ban guns. All of the law-abiding citizens lawfully hand them over and are now left weaponless, and they return home. BUT, the criminals who go under the radar and keep them are the only citizens armed, and guess what! Crime goes UP, because out of all the people who actually need guns to defend themselves, none of them have any. The point of guns, you're correct, is to kill people. But which people? BAD people who already HAVE them. SELF-DEFENSE. It's a necessary evil. I know some people love to daydream about a happy world where we all hold hands and sing songs in fields of clover with double rainbows enriching the sky, but guess what! It will never be that way. Sad day. There will always be bad people and you'll always have to protect yourself.But you might say, "We can just FORCE the criminals to hand them over!" Well, number one...how? You go find them? Most of the good ones aren't even in government records. Let's say you do find them. Now what? He's got a gun and so do the police. More people die, which is the opposite of what we intended in the first place. #2, let's say you somehow magically accomplished the mission. Now the only people in society who have guns are the police. And what do we call that? Auschwitz! Yes!So we can't just ban guns, we can't force them out of the hands of everyone, and we certainly can't take them from the police, too. So the only option? Leave it be and trust the wisdom of our founding fathers. We all need guns at some point. Villains who want them to shoot innocents, and heroes who want them to shoot the villains.

The reason some extreme Islamic people hate America is because they see us as the center of the Atheistic western world. They would hate us whether we kill them or not.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: Yes

I agree with @kk0bbr's argument all except for point number two. If there we equal money, power and respect, the world would be chaos.Let's start with if there was equal money. If there was equal money, many would not be content as greed is a large part in human nature, and the end result would be an even more imbalanced society as there would not be both rich and poor people to balance the scale, simply rich people and average earners.Next, if there was equal power. If there was equal power, the America would be a state of anarchy, resulting in uncivilization and no rules/laws for citizens to follow. If people made rules, they would have more power, resulting in a big jolt for the economy and the state of everyday activities. And last, if people had equal respect, we would have no-one to aspire to be like, no idol for us to follow the path of. We would be the same in a way. Also, it is impossible to keep everyone equally respected due to the fact that people engage in activities, which may decrease or elevate your level of respect given from others.Overall, I agree that it would not make a difference.

Guns do not kill people . A gun doesn't have a mind of its own . A gun can not pull it's trigger by itself . There has to be a person on the other hand to pull that trigger . That person kills people not the gun . On the other hand every thing else you said I totally agree with you .
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Firstly, knives and cars are not commonly used to murder people. Cars just cause accidents, that is not the reason why cars should be banned. GUNS ARE A SURE WAY TO FINISH PEOPLE OFF! AND ANYONE CAN USE THEM TO KILL OTHERS, that is the reason why guns should be banned.Secondly, how do guns serve a great purpose, as you said, in many cases? They help to kill somebody we hate? Well! that is badly justified!!Moreover, there is no way of ensuring that the people who are getting guns are capable of handling them and are not likely to go kill someone with it.

mmm, I agree with your first two points, however just because stupid people obtain guns is no reason to ban them. Stupid people are voted for all the time (you know who I mean) but does that justify preventing the election process?
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

JitsFirstly, knives and cars are not commonly used to murder people.Both are used to 'murder' people all the time. It is true that guns are responsible for the majority of murders but knives are number two and cars are considered weapons by the police.Your point is that Guns murder people so they should be banned. If that truly is your sole point then that's riduculous because banning guns wont stop murders. Murderers will just use something else; knives, poisons, explosives, their own hands. Do you really think a criminal intent on killing will say to himself, "Darn, I can't kill now because guns are illegal?".Jits. Do you collect anything, pez dispensers, baseball cards, broken hearts...anything? If you do maybe you'll be able to relate to the need for guns. Think about it.Guns represent history. Guns represent the ingenuity of man. Guns are one of the simplest, most efficient machines ever created. Take some time to look beyond the obvious...gun kill...gun bad.

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

I disagree with your point : Just consider the prime uses of the things which are considered weapons by you.Firstly, the prime use of cars are transportation. They are commomly used to move from one place to another by the common people.You say that cars are considered as WEAPONS by the cops? They are not considered as a WEAPONS. They are used by cops as roadblocks and chasing activities. Do you think them as MURDERS? Quite funny though! That is a funny point you have raised. Secondly, just think about the prime use of a knife. They are commonly used in domestic kitchen activities.Now, think about the prime use of a GUN. Even a child knows that guns are used for killing. (Other than defense in the army, obviously, guns can't be banned for the army). Then why not ban guns, when they kill.Even the keyboard that you are typing on can be used to KILL people if hit at main areas of the body. All is on the mentality of the people. And, as I mentioned in my first point, presence of gun can originate offensive mentality in the owner.

JITS SAYSYou say that cars are considered as WEAPONS by the cops? They are not considered as a WEAPONS. They are used by cops as roadblocks and chasing activities. Do you think them as MURDERS? Quite funny though! That is a funny point you have raised."Jeff Joseph, a law professor with the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, said police officers are often held blameless in San Diego County when they fire on vehicles if those vehicles are coming at them in a threatening manner. "There is no question that a vehicle can constitute a deadly weapon, but the question is, is that the way it was being used?" Joseph said. By PAUL SISSON - Staff Writer | Friday, April 18, 2008 North County Times"Some people choose a gun or their fists, but some choose their cars," said Detective Constable Paul Lobsinger, who works on the hit-and-run squad with Toronto police. "I am seeing them more often than I used to. Often it's a case of impatience or rage." SUZANNE MA From Friday's Globe and Mail August 11, 2006Google "Car as a weapon", 2,820,000 hits and the two quotes above say you're wrong.JITS SAYSJust consider the prime uses of the things which are considered weapons by you.Who cares about the "prime" use of an item. You said knives and cars weren't commonly used as murder weapons. They are.JITS SAYSFirstly, knives and cars are not commonly used to murder people.Once again they are. That takes care of the first third of my post.You ignored the second third of my post. I will rephrase. Will the banning of guns stop people from killing? The answer is no.The last third dealt with looking beyond...gun kill...gun bad. Please take some time to reread it.

But guns make it easier to deliberately kill people. Much easier than with a knife.P.S. I've never heard of anyone being bludgeoned with a big mac.
Debate: Should guns be banned in America?
Side: No, guns don't kill people.

Car is easier to run things over. Much easier than throwing stone, rocks, or logs. Every single existing thing in this world is a double sided blade. The more powerful, the more you have to be cautious to use it. Guns were used to protect innocent 9 times out of 10. Should we let 9 innocent people gamble their lives without gun just so we can lie to ourselves that another 1 out of 10 would be safe. Since criminals find black market and don't obey law. What's the point. Saying banning guns would make our society safer is completely delusional. It's like speaking without logic but pure emotion.

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

If today we were to ban guns all the law abiding citizens would give up their firearms and protection. Guess what? The criminals wouldn't give up their guns and they would have a field day breaking into stores,banks, and homes. And when you are the on laying on the floor and watching your possessions being stolen and your family raped and killed without anything to defend yourself then its on you. If you live in some fantasy that the world is perfect and the police can always protect on a moment notice you can pretend whatever you want. Us on the other hand want some protection.
