Description

Should gun control be enforced and if so, to what extent?   

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode! This episode is going to be a little different. We’re going to have a debate between the affirmative, Carolyn and Helen, who will argue for gun control, and the opposition, Amy and Kelly, who will argue against gun control. Michelle will act as the judge of this debate, playing Devil’s Advocate and trying to stump us with difficult questions.   

Disclaimer: this is just a debate and does not necessarily reflect our personal views.
