I believe in the basic right to self-defense. I believe you should be able to protect yourself in home-defense, in public(conceal-carry), and against a potential tyrannical government. Feel free to try and change my mind, and you can bring up other points as well. This text will be the same in round 1, and con starts his/her arguments/rebuttals in round 1. No specific rules, other than be civil, and be committed to the debate. A forfeit results in an automatic loss.

Ahmed Mohamed and his family claim that they were discriminated against by the public school system and the police. Pro contends that the facts indicate that no discrimination took place and the incident was exaggerated by the media before all the facts were known. Con may argue in support for the Mohamed family.

I will be taking the position that President Trump does not understand what fake news is and instead uses the idea of fake news to go after unflattering reporting of him and his administration.
