    No it’s not relevant to the argument that most gun owners are responsible. Well it is, only in the sense that it proves it. Even the worst country in the world is overwhelmingly responsible even you consider population size.

      I think you misunderstand.

      It’s not important that many gun owners don’t end up allowing their guns to be used to kill children. Your argument is miniscule, inconsequential, and not helpful to the sickness in the US society.

      It is important, tantamount, and very relevant that because the US has so many guns, that the leading cause of death to children are the guns.

      Idgaf about most gun owners, I care about reducing the number of children being killed.

      Why don’t you care about reducing the number of children killed by guns?

        No, I think you misunderstand and want to turn this into a debate about guns when I made a simple statement. Most gun owners are responsible. Most gun owners never experience gun violence because of irresponsible gun owners. To say our imply most gun owners are irresponsible is a lie.

        If you didn’t give a fuck about him owners you shouldn’t have run your mouth with false information to my very simple and scooped statement which has nothing to do with the point you are trying to make.

          No, I think you misunderstood, and want to turn a very important debate into a pedantic point about sheer ratios without wider context.

          Increased gun ownership has been repeatedly shown to increase gun violence. That’s a fact. To say that it’s “responsible” to increase or even maintain the levels of gun ownership is false.

          To say or imply that most gun ownership is responsible is like saying that most cigarette smoking is responsible…except when you consider every fucking horrible ill it wreaks upon society.

          You shouldn’t run your mouth with false information that is so “very simple and scooped”, because that misses the entire fucking point.

          Be less simple, simpleton.

          These clowns will pray to take your guns and call you stupid for owning them while fretting about Trump and his cult seizing power and banning LGBTQ+ folks from existing.
