So in my history class my professor informed us that we had to pick a partner and a topic and debate over it. So I chose gun-control and chose to be against guns (and no I'm not a hippie, I just chose something) so anyways, the professor was trying to give me advice of debating and that I had to anticipate what my opponent is going to say. And I know exactly what he's going to say, he's going to say "guns don't kill people people kill people" and say it's in our amendments to own a gun and etc. so I was just thinking how in the world can I have a good counter Punch verses that stupid quote? And how should I go about doing the debate? For example should I just throw a bunch of stats of how many kids get in to their father's guns and shoot themselves by accident or appeal to their sense of decency by showing them visual pictures of parents crying over their children that were killed by guns and I was thinking of researching different types of ammunition because there are types of bullets that once inside of you shatter and caused a great deal of damage. And I guess I could say defending yourself is one thing but there is no need for the advanced types of ammunition anyone could buy at their local gun store and so on. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.
