No

Statistically, firearms are the most commonly used weapon in homicides, and restricting or banning guns has been shown in multiple countries and states to decrease crime rates.

In my opinion any normal person should not be allowed to have a gun at all, rather it should only be for any government or states person, police, army, etc.
I say this because there are so many shootings happening and I think that most people who want it to be easier to buy guns, are the bigger threats.
For regular people there criminal records should be checked if they want to buy a gun and also check what they do for a living to better understand the reliability of that person.

Stricter gun purchase restrictions are not about undermining the Second Amendment but about finding a balance to enhance public safety. Comprehensive background checks, waiting periods, and improved training can help prevent misuse and protect our communities.

There should be gun control because if everyone is allowed to own a gun then no one is safe because anyone can shoot anyone at any given time.

If we allow our Gun Control Laws to be like America's we will end up with more shootings and gun based crime then we already have

In my opinion, the best argument for gun control is that people should not have guns with them and at home, and only police and military personnel should be allowed to carry firearms, because if anyone has a firearm, the country will become an unsafe place.

In this generation, it is more important than ever to support stricter gun control measures. Personally, I think we have to consider the upsetting amount of gun related incidents and mass shootings that are taking place, stricter gun regulations can help keep guns out of reach from certain people who could be a threat to society. I'm not saying take away the rights of gun owners who are responsibly handling them, what I'm saying is by creating measures such as background checks can potentially make our communities and innocent people a lot safer. The safety of individuals in a community should always be a priority, and stricter gun control is a great step in order to protect the lives of innocent individuals.

You can't drive a car without a license and training, why should you be able to operate a firearm without one?

I DONT WANT PEOPLE SHOOTING ME BECAUSE I STEPPED ON THEIR LAWN OR WHEN IM AT SCHOOL OR BECAUSE I LOOKED IN THEIR DIRECTION LIKE OMG I HATE GUNS PLEASE DIE

I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lessen the gun violence/school shootings in the country.

I don't feel as safe in Canada as I would in the country my family lived before moving in here. In my country, I didn't face lockdown practices at school. Meanwhile, in Canada, I get to experience them once in two months.

There should always be a gun control everywhere, look at 3rd world countries or even our neighboring country, adults', teens, CHILDREN being killed because they fail to have a gun control in their countries. Our Country can NOT be turned into a **** show like that.

The process to get a legal firearm is extensive but there are no checks for years after you have the license(this should change) Criminals will use anything to harm if they want to so penalize regular people who follow the laws is not fair

By introducing and loosening gun control laws, the public is more at risk because access to guns will be more widely available.

Guns simply do not work. We can see it with our Neighbours to the south. You can run away from a knife, you can’t run from a bullet.

implementing gun control measures is essential for reducing gun violence and saving lives. Countries like Australia and the UK have seen significant drops in gun-related deaths and mass shootings after enacting stricter laws. Background checks and waiting periods can prevent dangerous individuals from obtaining firearms, and states with universal background checks have fewer homicides and mass shootings. Most Americans, including gun owners, support common-sense measures like background checks and assault weapon bans. Gun violence also has a huge economic cost, from healthcare to law enforcement expenses. While the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms, reasonable regulations can balance individual rights with public safety, much like how free speech is regulated to prevent harm.

This doesnt mean taking away guns at all, this means allowing for more control on deadlier weapons such as automatic weapons designed to kill alot within a short amount of time.

You want people to think they gangsta and shoot each other? :skul: doubt that more people will be willing to rob with a knife than with a gun, no gun = less problems since not everyone buying a gun is a responsible individual who likes to hunt deer or wants to be safe at home.

look at the US due to lack of gun control, so many mass shootings especially in schools. It's heartbreaking. It is way too easy to purchase a gun in America.

We need control if we allow the public to have guns it causes more violence. Look at America there is school shootings on the regular.

It is extremely dangerous, and we have seen that in the number of public and school shootings in the past 5 years, to give anyone of legal age the right to a gun.

Look at America, a society can have bad mental health or guns, not both. We have poor mental health that needs addressed before we can ever have more guns

yes, a gun is a lethal weapon it can either be used as a hobby a way to hurt people or a use for self-defence, but if the situation isn't extreme why take someone's life? there should be background checks to purchasing a gun to make sure the person isn't ill and has taken proper training on handling a gun. those who disagree don't like the extra safety when it comes to purchasing a lethal weapon. shootings are more likely to happen, as an example The United States Second Amendment allows them to "bear arms" which is exactly why they're on an all-time high when it comes to firearm homicides. it's either safety or the inconvenience of those who don't have the patience nor the ability to take proper responsibility for owning a firearm.

Guns are just really dangerous weapons that require a lot of responsibility and discipline to use. Not many people have either of those, and use a gun for violence against people under the banner of "self defence" even if it is often times just really unnecessary.

Gun control means making rules about who can have guns and how they can be used. It's not about taking away everyone's guns, but about making sure people are safe. We want to prevent bad things like shootings and accidents. By having rules like background checks and waiting periods, we can stop guns from getting into the wrong hands. This helps protect everyone, especially kids and people in dangerous situations like domestic violence. It's also important to remember that most people support these rules because they want to feel safe. So, gun control is about finding a balance between keeping our rights and keeping everyone safe.

Control on guns is very crucial as even young children from 12-20 are getting access to guns. Many crimes have occured as a result and has been out of control everywhere.

There should be more restrictions on weapons and weapon use. Individuals carry unregistered items which increases crime and death rates.

To anyone who supports the No position on Gun Control, I would just like to ask for what reason would additional gun restrictions be bad in any way. The possession of firearms isn't just the cause of death, but the birth of fear. Anyone with good intentions would not have any issues progression through Gun Control. Tell me how not having additional gun restrictions would benefit anyone in anyway.

Guns should be allowed but only for your own use, but not to harm others they should be used at gun ranges and in forests on bottles but never on a person unless it's an extreme circumstance.

A concise counterargument to the "No" position on gun control, which opposes stricter regulations on firearms, could focus on the need for sensible measures to prevent gun violence and protect public safety. By implementing reasonable gun control measures, such as background checks and restrictions on high-capacity magazines, we can reduce the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands and mitigate the devastating impact of gun-related tragedies. These measures do not infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens but rather ensure that gun ownership is accompanied by responsible safeguards, ultimately enhancing public safety for all.

people are absolutely reckless and stupid, i joke about how some adults shouldnt be allowed to work in an office nevermind own a firearm. mental health is a big factor and age lemit and huge things.

I believe that being more strict on gun control can help lower the risk of crimes involving guns, like school shootings.

Idk I think you shouldn’t have a gun because it’s dumb you don’t need to kill someone and with nobody owning a gun this allows people to go outside without fear of dying due to gun violence.

One counter argument to the "No" position on gun control, which typically opposes stricter regulations, could be:

While it's essential to protect individuals' rights to own firearms responsibly, implementing reasonable gun control measures doesn't necessarily infringe on those rights. Such measures can help address public safety concerns by reducing gun-related crimes, accidents, and fatalities. Regulations like background checks, waiting periods, and licensing requirements aim to ensure that firearms are only in the hands of law-abiding citizens who are mentally and emotionally fit to possess them. These measures can contribute to a safer society without significantly impeding the rights of responsible gun owners.

There should be more restrictions when buying a gun, due to high amounts of school shootings and general gun violence we need to stop as many people from getting ahold of guns, some suggestions could be a hunting license being mandatory, simply abolish people having guns for no reason.

If we gotten all of the regulations for buying a firearm then how come someone could just buy one for their child?

Stricter gun controls would help us greatly. We would see a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the number of deaths related to gun violence.

if there are no restrictions on purchasing a gun the country would fall apart due to the fact people who are unfit would be purchasing a gun and we would not know how it’s being used

Eliminating the risk of weapon misuse entirely and weapon crime offences can only be achieved by making it entirely illegal and impossible to acquire such weapons

Statistically, firearms are the most commonly used weapon in homicides, and restricting or banning guns has been shown in multiple countries and states to decrease crime rates.

random people shouldnt be carrying a gun around we should use them for the sick and ill or disabled.

I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lower the gun violence and school shootings in the country.

Guns lead to violence in hands of certain public, no guns in the hands of certain public would lead to less or no violence.

Do you want someone who can make a fake ID buying guns and shooting up your school or your child's school?

Gun control would reduce the number of children playing with guns. Gun control would eliminate police officers from shooting innocent people. Gun control would prevent the harming of people and animals.

There should be gun control because if everyone is allowed to own a gun then no one is safe because anyone can shoot anyone at any given time.

The only way to reduce gun violence and protect citizens is by making guns less accessible to everybody.

I think having more restriction on gun control can help in having less violent acts and less school shootings

I think that my best counter argument to the no position on gun control is that it can help reduce gun related violence and promote public safety.

I think Canada right now at this moment I think that we should keep it the way it is no guns but I do feel like when people brake in to ur house and u hit them or self defense canada doesn't care about that it just matter if u hit them or what and i feel like that is wrong .

If gun was to be given who are unable to take care of it, then corruption will happen in the country.

If we do not have any position on gun control, other laws that can cause harm under civilian hands can also occur.

yes there should be more restrictions on the current process of purchasing a gun. A gun is a military device, a weapon to be only equipped for trained professionals, or that you have a profession that deal with guns. The stricter the restrictions are, the safer it is for citizens and people.

Without gun control, the security of a nations is inevitably more at risk if unqualified people are able to get a gun.

Do you want our Canada becomes US No. 2? Do you want worry our kids will have gun shots when they are studying at school? Do you want to fear people use guns to fight on the street? If our government doesn't restrict the gun control, we can see where our future ends up.

People are going to do something stupid if we lower restrictions on guns. The death rate will go up and that's very bad. People are surprisingly stupid and evil and will commit murder. I don't trust anyone.

I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lessen the gun violence/school shootings in the country.

I believe that tightening the restrictions on purchasing guns could really help to lessen the gun violence/school shootings in the country.

I believe that people should be legal age to buy a gun, proper ID, police clearance and a good explanation of why a gun is needed other than hunting. Protection of your household only if kept locked up in a safe.

The best counter-argument to the "no position" on gun control would be to emphasize the importance of implementing stricter gun control measures to ensure public safety and reduce gun-related violence. This could involve advocating for comprehensive background checks, limiting access to high-capacity firearms, and promoting responsible gun ownership. It's crucial to prioritize the well-being of individuals and communities by preventing unnecessary harm.

The best counter argument would that it is good to take position on gun control because if the opposing person doesn't then they can be vulnerable to crime relating to the firearm.

Guns are killers, people who have purchases guns have gone to schools and killed innocent kids and people... there should be a lot more gun control

Gun Control could be implementing stricter gun control measures can help reduce gun related violence and promote public safety

My best counter argument for No position on Gun Control is that the more gus the worse and more shootings the less guns the better with less shootings.
