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

Look at that, not one point. Not one counter-point. Just like always.I have addressed the “are guns beneficial” question, though you predictably ignored whatever small part you may have understood. Nonetheless, I’ll provide a more in depth response to this question. Since you can’t take in a lot of info at once, the short answer is yes. You can stop now big guy. To know if guns are beneficial to society, you must imagine a world without them. A world where guns have either never existed, or a world where guns magically disappear. When there was a world in which guns didn’t exist, it sucked. We live in the most peaceful time in history. A world which was shaped and is being shaped in part by guns. See here:http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcasts/peaceful-time-history.htm A world where guns disappear is covered here:http://davekopel.org/NRO/2001/A-World-Without-Guns.htm A discussion by regular people wherein they imagine modernity without guns is here:https://www.quora.com/What-would-the-world-be-like-if-guns-didnt-exist A fanciful list of only pictures presented so that you have something to look at is here:http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty1268how-world-would-look-without-guns/I know that your response will be a non-response. I posted this simply so that I don’t appear as intellectually lazy as you to anyone who may be following this thread. But to summarize, yes. Guns are beneficial to society. They are beneficial to the individual and they are beneficial to the rise of nations.

Side: YES

You actually said I was off topic when I asked were guns beneficial for society but your goldfish memory has forgotten this already proving what a dimwit you truly are ; you're now saying guns are good for society after saying they were bad for society proving you are a liar as well as a stupid one , proving you in actual cannot take in and retain anything at all as is the nature of one who has a goldfish memory .Here is what you said originally ......you liar Are guns good for societies as if so how do they improve society ?Guns aren't good for society (outside of legit hunters needs) any more than fighting is good for society. If you asked me if fighting is good for society I would say "no" while recognizing the value in being able to fight.Ouch ( I hate that ) caught in your lies big guy Your new red herring as in a ' once upon a time in a world with out guns ' is more predictable nonsense , you admit that one even has pictures which shows the sort of idiots who put together these nonsensical pieces .Here is something that I would say is beyond you so get a group of adults to talk you through it ....http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/27/opinions/us-guns-evidence/
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

This is funny. After crying that I haven't adressed your supposed points, and then only coming up with one point (an unrelated one), you went back and quoted one of the several places where I addressed it! Haha.What do I say in that post? Fighting is bad but being able to fight is good? Is that so different from saying guns aren't good but that a world without them is worse? Shooting guns as people is bad but being able to is good. Talk softly but carry a big stick. I'm beginning to loose the joy in verbally crushing you. There's no bragging rights to it. It's like beating a child in the special olympics. The closest you ever came to making an argument was posting an article that talked about things I already addressed. So I guess for that you get a passing C- for effort. If you ever actually make a point, maybe I'll address it.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

I never cried , I proved that you're a two faced liar with the mental capacity of a slack jawed yokel ; so you've beaten children in the special Olympics before ? Now the retard tries to say how guns are beneficial but not beneficial ... blah ,blah ,blah Well done spastic glad to see my donations to the special Olympics are bearing fruit :)Ah I see no arguments yet again because you addressed all my points , yes I know as in your beauty of a theory .....guns are beneficial but not beneficial for society .... Maybe you should stick to pro gun sites , flat earth and holocaust denial sites ... I think you might find kindred souls there just as skull fucked as you :)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I addressed every point you madeOn the contrary, you haven't addressed even one. The best you've done is taken what I've said to you, and said something similar to me, as with the above quote.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Your failure to comprehend simple English is entirely your problem and I'm afraid I cannot assist you there , also you seem to have difficulty with comprehending simple concepts which is again something I cannot assist you with .
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

This is what your whole debate style consists of. You say things like this rather than making points.Why has crime decreased while gun ownership has increased in the US?Why is there less violent crime now, after guns were invented, than before?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

I've made points , your failure to address them is not my problem you also asked me to stick to the question as posed when I attempted to widen the debate and now you berate for not asking more questions regarding the topic ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I've posted responses to the few points made and you never got back to me. You went on to fail to address my points and counter-points. Mostly you just say over and over "I made points".Your expansion was whether guns would be beneficial to introduce when the question is whether they should be banned. Should alcohol be introduced to a society? Probably not, but we have alcohol now, so should we ban it? No. See what I did there? That's called making a point.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Yes I did get back to you and I believe I answered most your points that's why you have arrempted answers to them if youbactuallread what you wrote , also you got rather annoyed when I tried to broaden the topic . Again I'm not talking about alchohol I'm talking about guns .... see what I did there it's called dismissing yet another of your red herrings , we are not talking about martial artists , the army or indeed alchohol why do you keep changing the subject ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I ask these question many times of pro gun people ........Are guns good for societies as if so how do they improve society ?Guns aren't good for society (outside of legit hunters needs) any more than fighting is good for society. If you asked me if fighting is good for society I would say "no" while recognizing the value in being able to fight.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

What kind of fool wants to take away other's rights to enjoy their protection and enjoyment of guns.Any fool who want to do so, should also want to take away alcohol that DEOS NO GOOD FOR SOCIETY.It's sickening we have people who are such control freaks. This is why Trump won!
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Ah i I see , what an incredibly strong argument :) you call anyone who disagrees with you a fool whilst demonstrating admirably the qualities of a prize fool ; get back to me when you have an actual point to make ?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Don't worry, I won't be getting back to fools who think they have a right to take our freedoms from us. They are a complete waste of time to debate, because like you, they never address the rebuttals, and live in thier selfish arrogant elitist worlds whereby they can tell everyone else what we can and can't own.Keep drinking that alcohol. Gee, I wonder why Republicans are not trying to ban your alcohol?I guess we are not arrogant controlling fools!
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Well yes people like you don't deserve freedoms as your first statement clearly demonstrates the fact that there's a good betting chance you're a knuckle dragging , slack jawed gun toting yokel who clearly should not be let anywhere near a gun drunk or sober.Republicans are not trying to ban my alcohol you idiotic creature because suprisingly republicans have no political influence in my country ....You're far to dimwitted to be arrogant but you have demonstrated a remarkable propensity for stupidity :)
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I will try to remember the controling fool you are so I will not waste my time responding again. Maybe I have found another auto ban winner.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Getting banned from anything you post would be a pleasure because everything you post is void of implication ; I often wonder how clowns like you get through a day it's quiet remarkable really .....
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I agree. Even if guns were banned, criminals would break the laws and still use guns. Some people test out guns on YouTube, and that’s their hole purpose on YouTube. Guns shouldn’t be banned, because some people on YouTube will be sad.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

The use of guns in America should be prohibited at least in urban areas. There is no logical reason to state that you need a firearm in an urban setting. If you say you need firearms to protect you and your family that is law enforcement job, regardless of their current capability to do so. If you say that it is to protect yourself from "tyranny" or some such government, do you honestly expect that in the 21st century a government set up like America's would be able to become an all-powerful malevolent state? Additionally America's military is the most sophisticated in the modern world so if you were to face them you wouldn't stand a chance regardless of how heavily civilians are armed. (For those of you who would then say that the military would help you fight tyranny, then why would civilians need guns?).From a moral perspective saying that only a few "bad apples" give the rest of the gun owning population a bad name and that the good ones should keep their weapons immediately put value to the lives lost via the countless shootings in America (the live of fellow human beings are less important than your personal desires) and therefore very selfish.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

It is not the job of police to protect you. They can't do it. They are almost always too far away. It is thier job to find who attacked you and bring them to a judge.You think it's moral to take a gun away from a law abiding citizen, leaving them at the mercy criminals carrying illegally, just because of your selfish desires? Your morality sounds twisted. Most shootings don't happen at the hands of legal gun owners. I mean really very few. More deaths are caused by legal trampolines. Do you wanna get on a moral high horse to ban trampolines?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

No if the police were to do their jobs in situational crime prevention properly then civilians would be protected from all forms in all arenas of crime, you say it's not the job of the police to "protect you", but forgive me if i'm wrong but the official motto of the US police academy is "To Protect and to Serve". That might possibly mean that they intend to protect, if they are almost always too far away then, again, they aren't doing their jobs properly.I never said to take away weapons from all the population only those in urban areas for reasons I have mentioned. Its always the way with the "If you take away our guns we'll get shot at by criminals!" argument that you COMPLETELY FORGET the fact that the police wont just stop when they get all the legal registered guns, they'll go after the illegal guns and gun rings more than anything else. You say most shootings don't happen in the hands of legal gun owners, it doesn't matter if they are legal or not the murder is still being carried out via guns therefore they should be prohibited accordingly.The trampoline analogy is a bit stupid as they are toys which have had their health and safety elements removed (side netting) and aren't actual weapons designed originally as a means of waging war. My morality is not off for wanting to take away guns from a relatively stupid modernized population (14th), but i'd be interested to hear what moral doctrine you follow.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

It's ridiculous to blame an object with no cognitive thought. People kill people, plain and simple.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Exactly, if we are going to blame guns for the violence, etc, then shouldn't we blame the knife and fork for our obesity problems in the USA.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Yes , ovens don't cook food people do , but if you want to eat warm well cooked food you're going to need the oven .Guns may not kill people, but people with guns do, and they do so more often and more efficiently than people without guns.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Criminals will use guns illegally, so criminals with guns will still kill people.

Side: YES

Guns may not kill people, but people with guns do, and they do so more often and more efficiently than people without guns.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

No, we can blame the guns as the guns are used in killing people. Without guns in america, there would be a lot less deaths. You cant blame the knife and fork because even if you ban the knife and fork, people who are obese will use spoons/hands to eat. What a joke foratag
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Hi Joel , are you disputing me or someone else ?I don't agree with guns in society .
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

It looks to me that you don't really care about people killing people. Maybe one day someone that you love or cherish will pass on early due to unfortunate reasons then we will see whether it is just people killing people.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

But you do realise that the gun is the object causing many deaths..... especially in the wrong hands. If guns were banned, what would gangsters/ mobsters use? Knives? Wrench? Crowbar? All these items do damage but not so efficiently as a gun. by banning guns, there would be a significant drop of deaths in america
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Swimming pools are statistically more dangerous. .
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

And the US has both guns and swimming pools. How much more dangerous is this than only allowing swimming pools?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Provided a ban works, allowing both is "175 child deaths per year" more dangerous than just allowing swimming pools. On the other hand, allowing both is "550 child deaths per year" more dangerous than just allowing guns. The contrast is more stark if you consider the ease with which we could effectively eliminate swimming pools compared to the difficulties with eliminating firearms. Source:“Drowning vs Gun Death” in the book titled FREAKONOMICS by Levitt & Dubner in the chapter: “What makes a perfect parent?” To summarize the data from around the year 2000 (for ONLY the United States) 550 children under the age of 10 drown each year in the approx. 11,000 privately-owned backyard swimming pools. This does not include bathtubs, public swimming pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, oceans, etc. Compare that to 175 children under the age of 10 are killed each year by the approx. 200 million privately-owned guns (probably finding Mommy or Daddy’s gun and playing with it). Therefor, likelihood of death by private pool is 1 in 11,000 vs. 1 in 1million-plus by death by private gun.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

Criminals could use guns illegally even if they were banned, because criminals break rules. Banning guns would only reduce crimes slightly, but would increase the death of victims because they have no gun to protect theirselves with.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

Prove it... Where is your evidence to support your statement?
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

I should have said more dangerous to young children.It was a question posed in Freakonomics; "what's more dangerous?" After reviewing the data, economist Steven Levitt stated "Yeah, the answer to that question is incredibly easy. And the swimming pool is far, far more dangerous than the gun when it comes to young children."This is not a very incredible statement. Consider the huge huge quantity of guns compared to the relative scarcity of personal swimming pools. Given this disparity, every death by swimming pool is going to have a larger statistical impact on the level of danger as a measure of deaths per unit than deaths by gun.

good luck getting guns out of the hands of criminals ... till then, I'll keep mine thank you very much
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: NO

The U.S. became the most powerful nation in the world because of our drive to fight, we create weapons that are better than others, train harder and it all came from the American people. yes this was stolen and atrocities occurred; however, as time moved on, we know stand shoulder to shoulder with whites, native Americans, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc and fight together. And because our government has such impressive weaponry. It is necessary that the mass responsible gun owners keep their arms incase we need to fight our government. They may have better weapons and bombs but when things go horrible, the people stand up for each other no matter race and creed. We need our guns, and we must accept the bad that comes with this responsibility that we have as Americans

No. Mentally healthy law abisiding people have the right to own guns for protection. The Second Amendment says so.
Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

So how do you define a mentally healthy citizen ?Americans are more a risk from getting accidentally killed by one of their own guns in their own homes than by intruders or criminals ; is American society so fucked up that Americans are terrified in their own homes ?Please do not trot out the usual mantra used by pro gun people as in .....

I will not change my mind Proven rapists or murderes have three rights: the right to see a clergyman, th right to due process, the right to not be tortured, and the right to die humanely. That's actually 4 reasons, but my point should be clear.

Debate: Should the use of guns be prohibited in America?
Side: YES

And the Fourteenth Amendment secures equality under the law, but you don't seem overly concerned with that... People with diagnosed mental health conditions are not only less likely to be violent on average, but also more likely to be victims of violence. So on what grounds do you propose denying them the same rights you would extend to others? It certainly isn't constitutional grounds.Evidently, people have a right to defend themselves so long as they've never had a mental illness which places them at greater risk of needing to defend themselves.
