Gun Control Brief
PRO
1) Safety of the population is important. Doesn’t care as much about protecting ourselves from government. 2nd amendment outdated.
2) Should have required firearm safety measures such as trigger locks.
3) Should require gun owners to register guns
4) Should ban semiautomatic weapons.
These safety measures would help protect people from criminals and gun violence. Would help protect children from accidental gunshots.
AGAINST
1) The 2nd amendment allows citizens to carry firearms to protect themselves and the country from tyrannical government. Even though guns have negative effects, necessary for protection. Gun owners responsible for individual guns, and all shouldn’t be punished.
2) Safety measures prevent gun owners from protecting themselves properly.
3) Registration wrongfully targets all gun owners rather than those who actually do something wrong.
4) Semiautomatic weapons are needed for militia purposes.
Protects individual rights and responsibility for weapons fall on owners rather than government intervention.
SOLUTION
1) Safety measures – needed because safety is more important. Seatbelts also are a hassle but prevent death and are accepted. Same principle.
2) Registration – Needed to prevent illegal firearm trafficking.
3) Semiautomatic weapons – Should be banned because they serve no purpose in civilian society.
