At 1100 PST / 1400 EST / 1900 GMT today, Will Self and Peter Hitchens will be debating the motion that "the right to bear arms is a freedom too far", for and against, respectively. Tickets to the debate are sold out, so it's going to be livestreamed on YouTube right [url=http://www.youtube.com/versusdebates]here[/url]. I'll edit (or another ninja can) the live video into the post when it's available.
Intelligence² debates typically involve the audience to participate in voting, so I figured we could do the same here with a poll. Although some of you will have already made up your mind which way you will vote, I encourage you to watch the debate regardless.
There is also little bit of background on the debate you can read [url=http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/versus-right-to-bear-arms/]here[/url].
Enjoy.
