Most antigun people simply don’t know enough about guns to understand their argument

They have emotion, however they are ignorant about the realities of the different model guns they want banned.

The good news for pro-gun people is that facts are on our side.

The bad news is that in today’s America emotion often trumps reality.

Lol, tell me again about strict Chicago gun laws???

Jk jk. My point is let’s not get carried away. Plenty of people on the right spreading lies and bad talking points just like those on the left you’re criticizing, including you.

The state of Illinois has some of the strictest gun laws of any state, ranked #9 by the Brady Campaign.

Honestly, the best thing pro-2A folks can do... is teach others to shoot. Familiarity vanquishes the irrational fear almost every time. Seriously, take someone to the range that has never been.

Those that haven’t shot believe what the see in the movies, and what the loudest (bannner) voices tell them —not because they are bad people but because they simply don’t know any better.

I don’t get why anyone wants anything other than a sedan or simple pickup.

I don’t get why anyone wants a house bigger than 2000 sq ft.

I don’t get why anyone eats anything other than potatoes and drinks water.

I don’t get why anyone needs anything other than a bow and arrow.

We should all legislate based on our individual understandings and wants. You would do well under a communistic regime. Government tells you what you “get”.

Shotguns?

The AR15 IS a hunting rifle.

We went through this already. There’s nothing stopping anybody coming anyone coming and gong with whatever they want and there are no “strict gun laws”, like you were talking about TWO days ago.

Take your own advice, stick to facts, not talking points.

They look on the surface and that's it. They can not see past it.


They see dead bodies and what ever was visibly involved must be dealt with.

Also I mean if you really look at it, other countries who banned guns have had very few incidents with guns. Hell the last mass shooting in Australia was 96.

You are completely lost on this.

Please travel to New Jersey or NYC with certain types of guns, show them to authorities, and then call us from jail.

Or are you saying that criminals will ignore laws?

I just don't get why anybody wants anything other than a smart car for transportation.

Who needs a sport car with a bunch of horsepower and a top speed of 180?

Those are some of the worst controlled countries in the world. Compare use to our actual peers like Australia, UK, Canada, China, etc.

Oh wait you dont want to because that doesn't fit your agenda





lol at the notion of comparing the US to Columbia or Brazil in terms of homicide rates

It’s funny you brought up NYC, some of the ACTUAL strictest gun laws in our country (not just a talking point, which we know for a fact you’re prone to fall for). Record lows.

Not saying it’s the only reason (relatively strict gun laws), it’s a complicated effort, but it’s hard to argue it isn’t having an impact.

Why don’t you compare the demographics of the US to those countries and also look at what group in the US is committing the overwhelming amount of gun crime?

China? A Communist country?

And why get snarky? I am talking to you respectfully.
