    We have too many guns, all you will do is take away guns from people that are not going to do anything wrong, and then make tens of millions of law abiding people into criminals.

        I explained why you cant in a concise way and your response is the standard NPC mockery.

            Its not short quips its unsurmountable facts. It doesnt even start to get into deeper arguments about what people should or shouldnt be allowed. Its literally impossible to take away guns without huge country destroying impacts.

                Its silly if you dont know people with guns and how many they have. I really do think its a cultural thing and you just are not aware of the other people. Cue “I grew up around guns and…”

                  No, guns are for maiming and killing living things. I didn’t grow up in the bush or in a rural area, so there was no need to shoot anything.

                  Had my parents raised me around guns in suburbia then I would have categorised them as reckless fuckwits.

                  Because who in their right mind keeps guns anywhere near children? That’s absurd. To think that’s normal is institutionalised, cult-thought.

                    You can look down on gun owners and disparage them all you want, but it is irrelevant to what I mentioned. Let me put it more concisely - the benefits to taking away peoples guns will have 100x or more worse impact from trying to take away guns. It literally would not work.
