If the guns have a useful purpose, then yes. Otherwise, why would you have the government support a culture of violence? Ideally, there is no reason to carry firearms, and there is no demand in the black market. If this can't be achieved then selling legally is a good temporary fix. Side: yes, i agree

Yea, i agree, they should only be sold in dark alleys on the black market to all sorts of criminals who would still be able to buy them, and then the people who abide by the law will have no guns to protect themselves from criminals because theyre not familiar with this type of purchasing. Now see, me, i like to have a little fun on the "dark side" so id buy myself a gun for self protection, i bet i could get a great deal on the streets Side: yes, i agree

in the U.K. there are no guns sold over the counter. this means are crime rate is slightly lower then the U.S. i'm sure if you came and lived in the U.K. you would see what i mean. now imagine if no criminals could get hold of a gun, you wouldn't need a protection, as no criminals have guns. if no citizen had guns, just the forces who know how to properly use it, then we would need to guns for protection, just for war. if no guns can be sold over the counter, less are going to be sold, less are going to be made, and we will be saving millions. not to also be saving materials for what we really need. special modified guns could be given to animal hunters and fishermen, maybe so they only work on certain animals, so they wouldn't be able to kill anything other then that animal. but imagine, if not so many animals were killed with guns, those animals have a right to live. selling guns over the counter means that ANYONE can have guns to just display, kill animals or 'protect themselves'. think like the U.K. snd you will soon see what i mean..... and if you are not a women, or more, still in school, change how you think for this debate, and think how i think, and debate. NO GUSN SHOUDL BE SOLD OVER THE COUNTER IN AMERICA. SEE THE U.K.'S CRIME RATE GO DOWN! Side: yes, i agree

still, i don't get what you mean by 2nd amendment. THE POINT IS THEY DO NOT GET GUNS. ANYOEN CAUGHT WITH GUNS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SHOW VALID PROOF THAT THEY CAN BE ARMED WITH A GUN WOUDL BE SENT TO PRISON, OR WORSE, FOR LIFE/KILLED. YOU GET IT NOW???? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT ME, I WILL BE DEBATING FOR YES I AGREE IN MY DEBATE. WOUDL YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT A BIT MORE THEN THIS!!!!!! as a brit you understand. Side: yes, i agree

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! Side: yes, i agree

First of all i believe it is the right of the state not the federal government to decide how to administer the firearms. If the guns cause crime to go up the state should decide what to do. Secondly i believe they can be given over the counter but not be given that same day, to check their background Side: no, i don't agree

imagine you had to make the decision, what would you chose? i don't get what you mean in your second point, could you clarify? here in the U.K. we think very differently. here nobody would say they could be sold over the counter. i think if you thought from this perspective you would agree. Side: yes, i agree

the right to own a gun is one of our most basic freedoms here in the U.S. Criminals are not the only people that own guns. it isnt the gun that kills people, its the person that makes the stupid decision to pull the trigger. owning guns also allows us to protect ourselves. even if we did outlaw guns. criminals would still get a hold of guns illegally. the only difference would be that citizens would not be able to protect themselves Side: no, i don't agree

Understand the 2nd ammendment. One of our basic rights as Americans is the Right to Bear Arms. This isn't just so we can own guns to hunt with and protect ourselves, but to also protect from a tyrannical government. If the government and armed forces were only those with arms, who will protect citizens when the government is tyrannical? Don't think for a second it can't happen here in the US. It already is. Side: no, i don't agree
