Against Gun Control
By: Sydney Dodson
The government should not control our guns because:
- The second amendment
- People will use other weapons
- Guns save lives
The second amendment
- A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
- The second amendment states that we have the right to bear arms
- That amendment was put there in the first place so that we could protect ourselves from the government.
- A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
People will grab other weapons
- People will grab other things if you take their guns away
- They're criminals in the first place, they don’t follow the law
- A woman in Rochdale got stabbed in the face and the neck with a screwdriver
- People do not care if you take away their guns, they will find other things.
Guns save lives
- If you take guns away more people will be killed
- One night, a man walked into a Portland, Oregon mall and began firing. Obviously the shooter, Jacob Roberts, was an imbecile to start with, since he managed to kill only two people before turning a gun on himself, but that's not the whole story. A man, Nick, shot him before he killed anyone else. He made sure to wait until the bystanders were out of the way. Guns save lives.
- As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse
- Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.
Myth: Gun Control Reduces Crime
Conclusion
- The second amendment states that we have the right to bear arms.
- Other objects will be used if you take guns away.
- Guns save lives.
