Resolved: Gun control for assault weapons is unnecessary, and is a way to divest the masses of their Second Amendment rights depicted in the U.S. Constitution. As Rep. Michael Walker of Oregon says, “ A firearm is an innovative invention which is used for good and bad, but many objects in our society do the same, such as the internet, and automobiles. Although gun control is to limit firearm crimes and abuse, many law-abiding citizens are strained because of these outrageous limitations. For example, Shawn Kent
burst into his high school with an automatic assault weapon, injuring five people, but his wrath was only stopped by a teacher who retrieved a handgun from his car, and apprehended the student.
But what would have happened without the aid of this concealed weapon? Although it is an ironic situation where a violent gun encounter was halted by another gun, it occurs all over the country, and in 2004 alone, over 350,000 people thwarted assailants with firearms. So think, if you were in a danger, would your choice be to leave yourself without a means of defense?
Firearm bans do not apply to vendors at gun shows who are allowed to breach the background checks for firearms, and do not constitute for the 230,000,000 guns already in circulation. From 1993-2003, states such as Florida with right to carry laws saw firearm violence drop over 34 percent while the national average rose almost 15 percent in that time.
Alternatives to national gun bans include National Rifle Association Programs and State Gun Control Programs, which have educated over 20 million people in the U.S. since being initiated in 1957. 46 six states have seen firearm crimes drop in the last year, even though a nation wide firearm ban had expired.
