Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.

Ho, hum. This is kind of stupid, but, maybe a Chinaman can understand it … anyway. An assault weapon is a gun not meant for hunting OR protection. It is meant to kill the most people in the shortest amount of time. A weapon that will put out an inordinate amount of bullets, probably in seconds, that will do excessive damage to a human, or way more than needed for an animal. Usually they have either a high enough velocity to cause a tumbling effect after they hit, thereby tearing the body apart, or enough "lead" to give a body little chance to survive. (i.e. not giving an animal a "sporting chance").
If you can't defend yourself with, for instance, a six shot revolver, you probably should leave your defense to the authorities! You are a danger to your family or neighbors (maybe even yourself)!
A weapon with a firing rate of hundreds, or thousands, of rounds a minute is a danger to anyone in the area. Not necessary for defense … unless you are being (or doing) "an assault".
If that's not clear enough, I could go on, but …………. there's that Chinaman thing! I hate to waste time. ;-)
To the fool liar, Democrats have already come after our hunting rifles that hold more then seven rounds. THESE ARE NOT ASSAULT RIFLES!
He asked you to define an assualt rifle, and what did you do?
You said... "A weapon that will put out an inordinate amount of bullets, probably in seconds, that will do excessive damage to a human,"
Inordinate amount? The gun law in NY said that our hunting rifles holding more than seven rounds was too much!
You say in seconds? How many seconds? Our automatic shotguns can fire rounds in a matter of seconds!
Tearing a body apart? Our shotguns will definitely tear a body apart.
You prove our point. You spew these general terms for what you call an assault rifle, while the Democrats you elect are after our hunting rifles. They want to come into our homes and take our guns!
Very few "hunting rifles" hold 7 bullets. I used to own a 38-40 that held 14, Many referred to that gun as "load it on Sunday, shoot it all week!" (Definitely NOT an assault weapon!;-) In seconds I mean a firing rate of 400 to over a thousand rounds per minute IS an assault weapon. I don't care how good you are, you wont get that out of a shotgun. Oh, by the way, MY shotgun will tear a body apart also.
It's sick how truly naïve you are! We want REASONABLE LAWS to REDUCE the slaughter, what 35000 lives this year?? How naïve does one have to be to think you're going to get 7 shots at a deer?? If you need 7 you are a danger to other hunters in the area and poor enough of a shot that you shouldn't be allowed to hunt anyway! I hope that YOU are in the area of a more than seven shot deer hunter, stupid! What are you …. trying to fill up heaven??? Hell?? Hmmm … won't you join the party??
Maybe you need an Uzi to protect YOUR family, most people DON'T! I've shot several deer, I've NEVER needed more than one shot because I won't shoot unless I know I've got an instant kill, I don't "spray the bushes"! I wouldn't "spray my house" either, one shot would likely do it.
Maybe you are an idiot and miss the entire point. The NY law would have made our personal legal hunting rifles illegal!
They wanted people to get registered so the Government would know which houses had those hunting rifles!
I had a 22 automatic rifle that held 10 shots.
It's not all about hunting. It's also about protecting our homes from intruders. Yes, we might need every one of those rounds before stopping the intruder!
Idiots like you have no problem when a Government demands you turn in your guns. How gullable can you be? Maybe you miss how people also get killed by knives, trucks, etc. etc.
IT'S NOT THE WEAPON, IT THE CULTURE THAT CREATES KILLERS!
I've never had my house "intruded" .. have YOU?? If they did, do you think you're going to be in a gun battle and need 10-20-30 shots?? I've rarely …. no, NEVER heard of a break in where a gun battle ensued. Usually one or two shots, that's it, someone's dead, shooting stops.
It wouldn't be hard to have your 22 modified to only hold 7. I've not heard one thing about the government demanding you "turn in your guns". I HAVE heard them talk of BUYING BACK assault weapons. Seems fair to me. ;-)
LOLOLOLOLOL, you actually believe what these lying fools tell you?
Obama said he was against Gay marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These anti gun radicals will tell you anything, and do the exact opposite, to push their agendas.
You have no clue how many shots would be needed to stop an intruder at night time, in the dark! I could envision firing non stop to scare the intruder away.
How would you like to run out of rounds before him?
I'm suppose to pay to have my guns modified on the say so of corrupt politicians? What will stop criminals from modifying their guns to hold more rounds?
Stop wasting our time. You are so naive, it's pathetic.
Obama was against gay marriage for a while. he investigated it, talked to people, doctors, and clergy and made up his mind that it was a right. I don't require a President to follow my beliefs and I don't feel the requisition to follow all of theirs. That is one reason I'm not a Trumpist! I couldn't possibly follow many, if ANY of his beliefs.
The anti-gun advocates can tell what they want, the Congress and SCOTUS decide what passes. Their "agenda" is their right to push, but, it is (should be) decided by the will of the people, NOT the will of the NRA or the gun lobby.
I wouldn't worry about running out of rounds. As I said, it's a rare thing that a house invasion involves more than three or four … inclusive. TEN? Nah.
If you want to keep that gun, that's a small price to pay to help reduce over 30,000 deaths a year.
The authorities have the responsibility to control criminals. Support them! How many police have been killed or wounded this year alone because they were outgunned?? THEY would LOVE for the AK's and AR's, etc. to be gone. If they are not so easy to acquire, they will not have to go up against so many, and, eventually things will quiet down.
Back in the 20's & 30's there were a LOT of "Tommy Guns". They were made illegal and they eventually almost disappeared in crimes.
I should stop wasting my time on YOU, you are so naïve AND pathetic. ;-)
What makes you so mindlessly naive, is if it were not guns, those people would have been killed with some other weapon of choice.
A truck could kill more people in a crowd then guns. But what does the obvious truth have to do when controlling Socialists are trying to disarm the people.
So what you are saying, is that a politician can lie through his teeth to the people who elected him, AND THEN after the election, tell us that he investigated the issue, talked to people, doctors, clergy and then made up is mind to flip flop?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, under your sick logic, there would never be one word we could trust out of any politician's mouth.
The millions of voters who were against Gay marriage may have voted for him because of his claim to be against Gay marriage!
Why did you not insult him, call him a homophobe when he was supposedly being against Gay marriage?
Trump is doing everything he told the voters he would do, and you cant find one thing to give him credit for?
Well, that's how sane people change their minds. They don't go to an ancient book, with an invisible and imagined author to make up their mind. Under your sick logic, that's how it's done.
I disagreed with him when he was against gay marriage because the science saw things differently. The ancients … not so much!
Trump promised the voters many things. The law stopped most of them, the Constitution, a few. The people some more. The lies …. well, we haven't been able to stop … or even slow them down! 14,000+ and counting! (That "freedom of speech, thingy! Oh well, we can't have freedom without some abuse! ;-)
Yes, I can find a couple things to give him credit for: 1) Destroying the trust of our allies. 2) Improving our relationship with our enemies …. even though that's NOT what is good for our country! Destroying years of advancement toward cleaner air and water … and dumping the important Paris Agreement! Crippling our farmers and industry over a trade agreement (and spending our tax money to make up for it to them)! Turning against the LGBTQ people he PROMISED to protect, and, oh, yeah, same with the DACA'S. 3) Making Russians MORE WELCOME in OUR Oval Office than the allies that depend on U.S.! 4)-5)-6)-7)-8) …. who do we appreciate! (The previous insulted administration :-)!
Executive Orders mostly say: CONGRESS! This is what you should do! Mostly, they haven't … because even the "Do Nothing conservative Congress of a year or so ago, KNEW it was stupid! This Congress knows that too, but, then comes Moscow Mitch …. and NOTHING gets done, even the good stuff!
