Description

This is a debate regarding self defence in Australia. The main argument is allowing members of the public to purchase and use non-lethal weapons such as a taser or pepper spray.

The BoP is shared. Pro needs to prove that self defence weapons should be legalised, while Con needs to explain why they shouldn’t.
