Question
Should we have gun control?
Position‹2 of 3›

Guns should not be restricted in any way

This position holds that guns should not be restricted in any way. It argues that the Second Amendment is a fundamental guarantee of individual liberty, that people rather than guns are responsible for violence, and that restrictions would leave only criminals armed.

Supporting arguments · 3

  1. Guns don't kill people, people kill people
    Automobiles kill more people every year than guns, but we don't talk about banning them.
  2. The Second Amendment is a fundamental guarantee of individual liberty
    Any limit would amount to a violation of the Second Amendment.
  3. Banning guns will ensure only criminals have access to them
    Bad guys can always have access to guns even if it’s illegal. So you have to allow good guys to buy guns to defend themselves.
