By best I mean most effective way to reduce gun deaths
Essentially BoP failure. I agree with pro’s sentiment that a ban would be a form of increased enforcement, which is best carried out at the federal level. However, they treated it as a truism falling short of proving this. A little elaboration on why it must be done at the federal level, and/or why ban is just a level of control would have given them the win.
Con for their part, did a weak semantic kritik by proposing an outright ban instead of mere increased regulation. An assertion that this falls to pros side was the right tactic but lacked the support needed to turn it into a warranted argument.
An example of why this needs support is had con proposed complete gun anarchy, that too is technically a level of gun control; yet con would have sources in support of their side. Not much is needed in the way of sources but a little when the other side is using them to enhance their points.
Pro offered little in the way of factual information. Con countered by at least addressing the topic.
conservatives and possession of firearms are the #1 cause of gun-related deaths in the United States
Is pro capable of defending a position?
Dude you asked for clarification and got it.
what a cringe comeback???
We already have a federal gun ban on machines guns made after 1986
Can you explain
We already have a federal gun ban. You want a EXPANDED federal gun ban
“….with guns laws even remotely as lax as ours with a low gun deaths….”
The laws regulating and restricting gun ownership/possession/use are not even close to being “remotely lax,” this is a pure emotively driven unsubstantiated uneducated opinion on your part.
Can I counter it with federal gun ban?
