well im doing a speech tomorrow and i have chosen the stance that we should be allowed to carry concealed weapons.  It has been proven that states that allow people to carry handguns result in less crime.  In one school shooting the number of deaths was 21, in my stance if students were allowed to carry guns there would be 1 death instead of 21.  Colleges are stingy and do not hire more armed security guards.


BELOW Please state YOUR stance and a brief reason WHY.  I hope i can learn something from you all for my speech

Gun control for all except police and that sort of thing. If nobody's allowed to have a gun, nobody's gonna have one to shoot, therefore nobody needs one for protection against something that's impossible.

allow guns for protection because some times people trips and because it just safer to have a gun on you at all times

There is also the possibility of a total gun-battle going on in school. Then, it would be over 21 deaths.

Well i believe that people will use common sense with guns, for you people who feel safe you wouldnt buy one of course.  I am talking about people who need guns for protection, police cant be everywhere all the time.

if you want protection go take a course in self-defence

Look at statistics on gun crime in countries where having a gun is illegal and I'll think you'll find there are a lot less deaths caused by gun crime. In England regular people are not allowed to own guns and I've never heared of someone shooting up their school like you guys have.
