Good. Gun rights are human rights. All people have the right to defend themselves and those around them. Taking that away by banning the only tool that evens the playing field is not OK.
Just ignore all the dead kids. They're not part of this discussion.
There is going to be a lot more dead minority and marginalised people if they don't make it possibly lethal to fuck with them.
I'm all for guns but keep them responsibly. Which most gun owners seem completely incapable of doing so.
Edit: I'm amazed at how people have went from "all guns bad" to "you need a gun" due to the election.
most gun owners seem completely incapable of doing so.
You got a source for "most" gun owners being "completely incapable of doing so?"
Cause I've yet to see a study that says any of what you said above.
School shootings on the regular, that's your study in real life.
And what percentage of gun owners are the source of the weapons of school shooters?
And before you go off on a tangent, gun regs are a good things, background checks are good, red flag laws are good.
And what percentage of killings in the US and death by kids and otherwise are caused be guns?
Don't deflect.
The fact that there are more guns than people is one of the top reasons children die in America.
No it isn't.
There are more guns than people in the USA. The numbers dont really paint the picture that most gun owners can't safely own guns.

Considering they're just above traffic fatalities I suppose it would be fair to say most drivers are incapable of safely keeping cars too.
You would be correct.
Who would've thought humans can't responsibly operate literal death machines?
You think thats bad you should see how dangerous the average kitchen is, full of detergents, heavy acids, heavy bases, knives, fire and gas sources. Literal death rooms those have got to go along with cars im with ya.
Yeah, you're right! Deliberately misinterpreting the argument solves everything!
Almost there.
I defend myself with a tiger and feed it highschool kids. Statistically, I'm an insignificant lunatic.
This is the blue conservative version of "your body, my choice". Well that and the bipartisan war on drugs.
Now playing The War On Drugs - I don't live here anymore
You mean Americans, not people. This is not a normal thing in the rest of the world, only America.
You mean the country that has more guns than people has a gun problem?? No fuckin way.
