WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT DELETE THIS UNTIL I SAY SO!!!!
It is for a history class and the only way to save my work due to comp problems is to post it here.
Debate Outline
I. Know what we are defending
The Brady Bill is an unconstitutional violation of the second amendment, any handgun regulation not unconstitutional must be carried out by the states.
II. The right of the people to bear arms is not to be infringed.
III. What the Brady Bill is
Named after James Brady. the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (the Brady Bill) is a piece of legislation passed by the US Congress and signed into law by US President Bill Clinton on November 30, 1993. The act required a five-day waiting period when purchasing a handgun and also established a national criminal background checking system for use by firearms dealers. The waiting period mandated by the act sunseted in 1998. According to this act, arms dealers are required to verify the identity of a customer and receive authorization from the background checking system, prior to the sale of a handgun. The front organization for the bill is named Handgun Control, Incorporated, or HCI.
Prior to its adoption, this legislation was widely publicized as the Brady Bill.

"The highest court in the land shouldn't be dividing up the power to violate the Bill of Rights between federal, state, and local bureaucrats," said Steve Dasbach, Libertarian Party chairman. "Instead, it's the Supreme Court's responsibility to defend the Second Amendment -- and every other basic civil right -- against usurpation by government."
"But the question isn't whether to delegate such power to a state bureaucrat or a federal one," he said. "It's whether the court will recognize that rights belong to the people -- not to the government. After all, the Second Amendment is designed to defend citizens against government. The Founding Fathers would be outraged to see this basic, fundamental right tossed up for grabs while the Supreme Court watches."

TWO QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED:
Do you want to take the right of a person and give it to a national or state government?
Do you want to physically abandon the second amendment altogether?
***Read word-for-word what the Second Amendment is and our goal is to make it known that the Bill is an infringement upon the right of a person to own a gun.
