Majority of us gun owners are very responsible and are well trained. I've been shooting since I was 5. I'm 25 now. I own guns, my sisters own guns and so do my brothers and my parents. I don't see the problem with wanting something and getting it. I can't stand that argument. Now i do understand not allowing the wrong people to get their hands on them. But remember, criminals don't follow the law and will obtain guns even if they are banned. The left promoting gun control is and always will be a losing issue and something that turns me away.
This is what we call Anecdotal evidence. "I grew up around guns! Nobody I know got hurt by them! Most gun owners are responsible!" This is meaningless and contributes nothing to the conversation.
Also "Criminals don't follow the law!" is the DUMBEST argument I've ever heard. By your argument, we should just do away with all laws. After all, criminals aren't going to follow them right? I mean why even have them? There's no point. Legalize Murder. Legalize Theft. Legalize Rape. Rapists aren't going to follow the 'Don't Rape" law. So why even have that law?
