Gun Control Pros and Cons

Assertion / Claim
  • People should have the right to own guns.
Evidence / Concrete Detail
  • "A well regulated militia, being necessary to secure a free state, right of people to bare arms shall not be fringed."
    • The control of fire arms by people may one day help us secure a free nation.
    • The second amendment protects peoples individual right to keep and bare arms.
  • If we did not have guns there would be no way to protect your family from criminals. You would lose your feeling of security in your own home.
    • If the right to own guns was taken away, only law enforcement would be the only ones allowed to have guns.  Criminals would find a way to own them via black market.  Drugs are illegal and we yet have stopped them from selling them.
    • When the criminals break in you will have no way to defend yourself, which would take away your feeling of security, a cop can only get there so fast.
  • Opposing Claims
    • Some think that owning guns would be a good thing, I believe that we should take guns away so that law enforcement should own them. This would help keep criminals from owning guns which would make the world a better place.
    • I think that guns do kill people, if we got guns out of the hands of citizens this would decrease the number of people killed due to firearms.
  • My Rebuttal
    • How ever, I believe that it is necessary to secure a free state.  if only law enforcement had them criminals would get them off the black market. This would risk the lives of many more citizens who are unable to protect themselves.

The control of fire arms by people may one day help us secure a free nation.The second amendment protects peoples individual right to keep and bare arms.

Criminals would find a way to own them via black market. Drugs are illegal and we yet have stopped them from selling them.If people were not so tractable by drugs then guns would not cause as many deaths as they have today. When the criminals break in you will have no way to defend yourself, which would take away your feeling of security, a cop can only get there so fast.

  • My Thinking
    • I think I am a inductive thinker. I think that because I thought of all of the consequences then thought of the theory that only law enforcement and criminals would own guns.
