48. Guns aren't a personality. That's not a response to a question but bears saying anyway. Also: they won't make women like you more.

49. "POC need guns to defend against white supremacists." I can entertain this, but if you are a white person, stfu and hand in your gun in that case.

50. 'You're making unfair assumptions about gun owners.' I'm sorry, the people suggesting I must be a cop or a fake leftist or actually, literal Hitler because I support controlled access to dangerous firearms are upset by unfair assumptions? What else you got?

51. "But I've trained to use guns responsibly!" Firstly, OK Punisher, second you can be trained to operate a nuclear reactor, doesn't mean you need one in your house.

52. "I am prepared and ready to kill in my or my family's defense." Now you know that's not true and so do I so why did you bother to mention it?

53. "If something is illegal it doesn't stop people getting it." It stops many people. With others, you're right. But we nonetheless have laws. Pls see no 21 for further discussion.

54. 'American culture is special and the gun culture is part of the national identity which means solutions tried elsewhere won't work.' Firstly they've never even been tried, secondly you're not that special. Plenty of places have similar cultures and we don't have this issue.

55. 'You're so wrong/an idiot/a dick etc.' Please read thread for responses to actual arguments. If you have another one pls share without being insulting.
