The weapons resolution- is terribly biased. In college - CEDA- we actually debated the second amendment now thats a real topic. Thats unbiased. Assault weapons aren’t even a real thing. To put it in a highschool debate level resolution just shows how far left debate and k-12 has come nationally unfortunately. Most resolutions these days are indoctrination tactics not real debate topics. Its doing these students a big disservice. The supreme court has already effectively on this multiple times anyway. How about this instead…Universal background checks in gun sales will effectively strengthen the second amendment to the constitution and American citizens right to own and protect their family and household. https://universe.byu.edu/2020/11/09/the-scope-of-the-argument-why-the-second-amendment-matters/
I respectfully disagree. Today, there is an active push by Democratic lawmakers to reinstate a Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which does refine what they consider to be "assault weapons," even if you may disagree with defintion. We are asking our students to debate the 1994 ban because it specifies the characteristics of weapons that would be prohibited. Incubate students are tasked with researching and presenting their own arguments, and will be challenged by their peers. They are up for the task. In late-October, I look forward to sharing how the debates went. Thank you for your feedback!
