A gun is an inadamite object that needs, as Sir Isaac Newton would say, an outside force to make it work, because an object at rest will remain at rest, until acted upon by an outside force.
There have been to many stories of people "that do what their told" and are killed. We have had mountain lion attacks in this state. I'm too old to fight off with an knife, let alone my barehands.
The last murder in this town was with a knife. My father was murdered with a car. The first recorded murder was with a rock. You can be killed with shoe laces, knives, scissors, rocks, cars, some kind of a blugeon, rope, hammer, screwdriver, and the list goes on and on.
A firearm gives a person a chance for survival. I wouldn't trust the non-lethal "options" for some basic reasons. Pepperspray has a possibility for blowback-making you more vulneralbe, then if the person's been peppersprayed before their more apt to be able to ignore the affects. If they are on drugs it will HAVE NO EFFECT on them. Tasers have killed a few people and I have seen a few people that need to be repeatedly shocked for ANY affect.
The person to blame is the thug. I criminal is a criminal. The recidivsim rate is too high. They are not being punished, my guess is they just don't care.
The Supreme Court has had several cases where they have declared that the police don't have to respond. In case of a natural disaster you are on your own.
Where I live the criminals assume your armed and they move along, we are more apt to be attacked by animals.
What you don't realize those of us who carry have training and train on a regular basis. Most of us also have first aid training and CPR. I know in this state it can take upwards of thirty minutes for a deputy to respond. It takes a person thirty seconds to bleed out if their neck is slashed.
If you want to be a victim go ahead, just let those of us who are law abiding citizens do what we need to do to protect our own and if your in danger and are lucky we'll have your back.

If you change the subject of the essay it would be easy to show you to literally hundreds of great information sites.
There has been a lot of university study and it is uniformly recognized that concealed carry reduces crimes against persons, whereas as in DC that has a strict gun laws that crimes against persons is the first or second highest in the US.
I am afraid if you are stuck with the subject you will find little to NO information that can prove the point.
How about this instead, "The Use of Guns Can Never Be Justified..........NOT!"

Making something a criminal offense received't continually end it.. If guns were ever a criminal offense than only the undesirable adult adult males would have them.. I also sense colleges must have guards shall we use the money we supply to international places that dislike us,our youthful toddlers are extra important!! Having a gun received't help each and each of the time yet being defenseless will by no skill help.. =================================== are you able to ask the undesirable guy to attend at the same time as I call 911??? =================================== isn't it extra ideal to have a gun and by no skill choose it than to choose it and by no skill have it!! A gun is type of a parachute. in case you want one, and don't have one, you'll probable by no skill choose one again."
