Assuming that we are talking about "assault rifle" in terms of "anything with a picatinny rail that looks scary"
Here's the problem:
.....
The question is utterly wrong. Although the teacher probably meant well, and/or wanted to get a debate in class, it should have been done so the kids would split at least sort of evenly.
The question is wrong in class, but it stems from the question being wrong in the media, which also stems from the question being wrong within government parties:
Instead of "what weapons should be banned?", the questions should be "what are more effective ways we could prevent someone else from going insane and shooting up a school? And how do we do so without taking away from a law abiding citizen from having access to self-defense or rights to carry.
This argument could go on forever.
Hey guys and girls,
My 13 year old daughter came home from school today (grade 8) She was informed by her teacher that assault rifles were evil and should be banned. The class was divided into 2 teams. Group 1 Kids who think all assault rifles SHOULD be banned in Canada go to this side of the room. Group 2 Kids who think they SHOULD NOT be banned in Canada go to the other side. 33 kids in the class 31 go to group 1 my daughter goes to group 2 and so did her best friend who doesn't even know what a gun is for moral support LMAO.
So tonight they have to do research and tomorrow they have to have a debate on the topic Ban vs Not ban... So i have given her some good points but i know there are lots of other good ideas out there i'm missing. So please nutters please help weith some good realistic points on why assault rifles should not be banned!
(Back history i own lots of guns we are a hunting family also pistols and lots of ARs all the kids shoot and hunt)
This only on assault rifles no other guns.
Thanks again in advance !!!!
I hate to think the worst, but I also did.
As in "my lawyer recommended I post nothing"
Sadly assault rifles are already banned in Canada .. tell her to look up the definition of a ''assault rifle'' .. The debate should be wether to ban semi auto sporting rifles .. This is the medias fault for telling people any black rifle with a pistol grip ia a assault rifle .. the media, hollywood and pop culture will be the downfall of western culture, they are mostly responsible for the degradation of the moral fabric of our society .. When the number one pop song that kids are listing to is about ''blow jobs'' and teenager are listing to rap that glorifies drugs, crime and prostitution, ect .. theres something really wrong with our society now..
