I agree with you that banning firearms is not the answer. It creates more victims, stripping the right of self defense for law abiding citizens, and putting the guns in the hands of criminals. What I think most people often forget about when they think of the second amendment is that it was made for the people to keep and bear arms in case of government tyranny, not just self defense or shooting for sport. Your post was long but it was worth the read.

I agree with your stance, but what stood out to me was how well written and organized your post it. You had well expained arguments with a clear structure and good sources. Good job.
