It all cuts back to marketing.
The NRA leadership also knows this, but doesn't care. The industry doesn't care either. The industry knows their products are dangerous. Their lobby NRA also knows this. Even 2nd amendment supporters know this.
But the marketing of the INDUSTRY AND LOBBY has convinced their supporters to focus on the individual, and not the larger sample rate.
The gullible supporter focuses on themselves, and always say "just keep them out of the wrong hands". Just the marketing the industry and NRA love.
Point is for the INDIVIDUAL, there is a larger sample rate than just the person who argues, "I am responsible". WHICH IS NOT the argument of safety advocates.
If a Muslim argued "Not all" , when a liberal Muslim argues RIGHTFULLY, "Not all" it still would not change that just enough do.
With firearms the left IS NOT out to oppress anyone for merely saying we have a problem.
No, not all firearm owners will do stupid shit. But we still have a epidemic of BOTH legally and illegally obtained firearms that is causing problems.
