Guns are an easy killer. People who want to kill will take advantage of this to murder.
More guns in circulation will lead to more homicides.
A gun ban would reduce the number of guns(making it harder since they have to go through black market and illegal places).
Therefore, guns should be banned.

Banning guns means removing a form of self-defense from people,leaving them vulnerable to murderers.
The black market will flourish after such a ban and, over the course of a few years,gun sale will recover and murder rates will soar due to the lack of defense.
Guns should not be banned.

Widespread gun defense is a myth*, people hardly ever use guns for defense and don't need to. Police are more effective.
The black market is harder due to higher gun costs and high enforcement against guns.

My point was that guns are used in a defensive way in the absence of police enforcements,so your first point is invalid.
Secondly,banning guns would result in a violent reaction from people and even a revolution.Considering that the participants are well-armed,this should fail to bring any peace.

Gun defense is a myth, it requires much training which most lack. So, hardly anybody uses guns for self defense anyways. They would therefore not be more vulnerable to murders.
A violent reaction is not inherent to a gun ban. It requires much support, which would have a peaceful response.

Restate: Since not many civilians use guns to stop crimes anyways, they are not more vulnerable to murderers.
The black market won't flourish because of high prices and regulations.
A gun ban won't lead to a revolution if it has support, that is democracy, which is part of my model.

Also, confiscating guns can stop an armed insurrection by some protest group. After that, the attacks will go down and disappear.
I extend my arguments for this round.
