You're not considering all of the factors of the argument and you're arguing to fear. Both are logical fallacies.

But arguing to fear is a stronger point. Especially because fear is what controls a persons actions.

@emporer - But won't you feel safer knowing that you can attack a threat? So you will be less paronoid walking around the streets alone or at night.

@Turin - Yes those are threats, but it is a humans personal opinon on how bad each of those threats are.

I'm all for gun rights, just not for shooting someone that isn't doing any harm. You can't attack someone who has their hands their pockets. Seriously you have to be trolling.

It's not a true argument. You are using persuasive speech and not fact to argue.

@Mrlucky - I am an avg middle schooler who got Octafinals at middle school debate nationals just trying to improve my skills. I also was given the 5th best speaker award.

@Emporer - Yes, there are many dumbasses at the middle school level. Many of their cases mearly touch stuff like this. Mine happens to be a bit better than most cases at my level.

@Turin - You are most likely a male from age 15-20 so yes, you probably wouldn't feel threatened by a man with his hand in his coat pocket. But think of a middle aged women with a kid by her side seeing a man reach into his coat pocket while looking at her and her son. Then it is a whole new situation.

Kay I'm done.

You won't get far with people who know what they're doing and by arguing like that you are creating very bad habits for yourself. I mean I could go through and rip the arguments to shred using pure fact, but I cbf to.

Kay I'm done.

I enjoyed arguing with you guys. Practice makes perfect. And, yes I know you guys could probably destroy my case. But I am just trying to get better. I am already a very good debater for middle school. I just need to prepare for Hugh school.
