The Second Amendment is out strongest argument against gun control.
Alright team, we need strong argument to win this debate.
Горка: 3

Agreed!
Горка: 4
We can open with the statement that the right of individuals to keep and bear arms is fundamental to American liberty and should be upheld.
You can quote the Constitution... the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

The protection argument will appeal to most people and debate judges. We can say having a gun is crucial for personal safety.
That's good!
Горка: 6
I like that!

Really? Are there any supporting claims for that?

The crime prevention could be another strong argument.

The idea is that criminals are not likely to target houses where the owners might be armed.
I can pull up some data to support that. We might use it for rebuttal.
Горка: 9
I think you are taking it too far, Matt. You're making it sound like American culture is just about guns and freedom. And besides, I've never even held a gun.

We can wrap it up with how the right to bear arms is integral to American identity and culture.
Горка: 10
I don't want to do anything with weapons of any kind...

So... how did it feel?
Well, I didn't feel particularly empowered or protected, and I never really bothered to learn how to shoot.
Горка: 11
Alright, let's cycle back to the debate. I pulled some stats for the gun ownership rate vs. violent crime rate.

The states with the high gun ownership rates have the highest gun related crimes per capita. Montana has the highest with 66.3%, followed by Wyoming with 66.2%, and Alaska with 64.5%.

Hey, Matt, you've been quiet.
Sorry... Can't we just say that strict gun control law won't help to reduce crime rates in general?
Горка: 14
It's still good to know, so we'll be prepared if the Westwood team hits us with same stats.

I guess we won't be able to use the "crime prevention" argument after all.
Горка: 15

I think we should follow instructions and lock the door.
Um, I'm pretty sure this is just a drill.
Горка: 18
Find a place to hide,Turn off the lights and silence your phones.It is not a drill!I repeat, this is not a drill!
Горка: 21
Help is on the way. Stay quiet, stay hidden. Do not leave your hidingplace until the police escort you out of the room.
