GUN CONTROL IS NOT THE SOLUTION

INTRODUCTION

• Banning guns will lead to many things
• Black market guns
• Depriving people of their rights
• Crime rate won't change

BLACK MARKET GUNS

• Criminals can easily sell guns without a license on the black market
• The black market would be an easy way for criminals to obtain firearms
• Citizens wouldn't have any guns for themselves

DEPRIVING PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHTS

• The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution protects ones right to own a gun
• There are already laws involving gun control
• Background checks and waiting periods are 2 examples
• Reasonable gun control can be put in place without a ban

CRIME RATE

• More than just guns are used to commit crimes
• Gun laws like the Brady Law were found to not have affected the crime rate
• In 2012 Chicago had over 500 murders and had the most strict gun laws

OPPOSING ARGUMENT

• People feel criminals are more able to commit crimes with guns
• Some think that a ban will reduce crime

CONCLUSION

• A gun ban will make things worse
• Guns will be sold in other ways
• People will argue that it's unconstitutional
• There will still be crime
• A better solution to the crime rate should be made without the restriction of guns
