I'm trying to debate some antis and as part of that debate, I am honestly trying to restate their position so that, hopefully, they will have to restate my position and think.
This is my attempt:
Gun ownership should be restricted (banned?) because some people do bad things with them. The difficulties involved with restricting or banning gun ownership, the bad guys not turning them in and instead selling them to other bad guys, defenseless good guys etc. do not compare with the overall good that would manifest if gun ownership was restricted or banned. We can trust government to protect us.
How about it? dose someone out there have any insight to the anti argument?
Wars don't determine who is right, they determine who is left. In a culture war, he who writes is the one who will be left
