How am I going to kill a person without a gun? I could never stab someone... that's too up close and personal for me and poison takes too long... Nope guns are the way to go.

Side: No

Yo yeea , guns is bettah, ah love seeing gat fights ya'll is mad.

Side: No

It has been observed that a society who are permitted to carry arms have lower rates of 'confrontational' crime. By this I mean, criminals are deterred by the possibility of being shot, and so even though people commit crimes with guns by taking advantage of the law, on balance it is better to have them.

Besides, what happened the last time we banned something (alcohol) the American public loved? Massive increases in its trade. Aside from that, how would we confiscate these mountains of weaponry? If 10% resisted and used the guns on police who tried to take the weapons, we'd have quite a large pile of dead police officers.

In short, it would be almost a war within itself, as well as being the less desirable scenario.

Side: No

Guns are dangerous and they should be banned in America because this country has terrible gun violence.

Side: Yes

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a startling revelation for 2015. It is projected that deaths from guns will surpass deaths from car fatalities in 2015. An estimated 33,000 Americans will lose their lives from guns as opposed to an estimated 32,000 Americans who will die in car accidents.

The gun violence in America is an American Shame!
