Well, i know this 14yr old who is writing a argumentive speech paper for his english class, and he decided to do it on 2A. So, i decided to have you guys look at it, as i am horrible myself at grammer
...
What he has so far:
RKBA and the Second amendment
"Gun control; making the streets safe for muggers, rapists, and thieves". Should we be endangering ourselves over nonsense? In London, England, guns are ilegal. So, gangs are stabbing each other to death. How is this better? Today, i will give you a way to reduce crime all over america, without increasing police forces or restrictions, today, I will tell you why gun control is a bad idea.
The second amendment cleary states, "the right of the people, to keep and bear arms, shall NOT BE INFRINGED." This doesn't state "the right of the people, to keep and bear arms, is subject to what goverment is hrere right now". In cities that allow CCW, concealed carry weapon, or the carrying of a hidden firearm, crime rates are significantly lower. How would you feel, if you were a criminal, that the person you are abut to rape has a gun, and knows how to use it?
These times, we are facing problems. We will soon have the most anti gun presidant ever in office, and the anti gun movement is stronger than ever. But the need for gun ownership is more important than ever. With the economic difficulty, criminals are becoming more desperate, and our need to protect ourselves is high. (also, zombie invasion is imminent, we must be PREPARED!
) Now, people say that if guns are made ilegal to buy, criminals won't have them anymore. Criminals well have guns whether they are banned or not. They allready use illegal guns, so why would they stop using their illegal gun if all guns are illegal? this is sensless and must be stopped. People are angry when "assualt rifles" are used in crime, and wonder how this is possible. They feel the need to take these "battlefield weapons" away from civilian hands, but this is not the case. There are few recorded crimes that actually involved what the BATFE classifies as "assualt rifles", and these are far and between. "Assualt rifles" are, for the most part, very illegal, and the legal ones cost in excess of $12,000. The firearms criminals use are allready illegal, so there si no need to make legal firearms illegal and endanger the lives of many, many people.
I want you to look at this statement by the Brady Campian, one of the most anti gun orgs in the nation:
"we are gladdened at this election, as this will be the most pro gun restriction presidant in our history. We know, with his help, that we can lower gun crime in this nation, by restricting guns throughout."
Now, with the information i have given you, do you think this will work? I don't think so, and we need to fight for our rights. We can't let someone with a outlook on life that says "if it can kill you, it has to go" control what our founding fathers thought. My solution is the ability for people nationwide to allowed to regester for a CCW permit, and this right not be taken away. It is proven that in gun friendly areas, voilence is low. Now; along with strict gun laws will come large amounts, a high increase in killing, and more dangerous life. There is a reason that the founding fathers put the second amendment in the constition. With the removal of 2A, also goes our other rights, how can we make sure even a "friendly" goverment does things only that we want? Before America was formed, the British tried to take our guns. THey tried to tax us, to use us. We fought back, but if they had not had guns, how would this have happened? The british were "friendly" at that time. Without clinging to our guns, America wouldn't have ever been formed, and i see no reason to give up this all important right.
I hope with this new knowledge, that you will fight for our rights, here and now, there is no time to waste. Right now, our men are fighting in Iraq for us to keep our "freedom", but the real freedoms are being taken away right under our noses!
Not sure what you think, any feedback would be appricated. Seemed pretty good for a 14yr old to me.... Oh, and the bolded part isn't going to be in the final draft.
