PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Some terrorism isn’t labeled terrorism.
Government needs to broaden meaning of terrorism.
Most current laws don’t employ any use of guns in domestic terrorism, they only apply to explosives, and biohazards material
The current act applying to guns is oddly specific about the size of the barrel
This is a concrete difference than the outlines for foreign terrorism, when ch doesn’t distinguish between action employed
Significance: Affects all Americans.
Time: current—El Paso, Pittsburg mosque, Orlando night club, Charlottesville car attack
Counter: some people who are innocent of terrorism might be convicted of terrorism if there is an all encompassing law.
Response: it’s better to stop terrorists rather than keeping all innocents out of jail. The people who might be wrongly convicted of terrorism are probably criminals anyway.
Resolved: That the federal government should pass a law to punish those involved with domestic terrorism and to fully define domestic terrorism.
