Sorry... Real life beats what you learned in a fucking video game.
1. Nobody was instructing you
2. No one even brought up video games
3. This assumes the only way you can understand guns is by owning them.

I didn’t realize I was offering you instruction. In fact, if it ever came down to it, you’re exactly the sort of person I’d take firearms instruction from (no sarcasm).
For what it’s worth, I don’t play video games.

Yea, quite sure there are plenty of firearm owners willing to follow the rules. The problem isn't that. The problem is volume made and a shitty vetting process and no national regulations like seatbelts and air bags.

A gun may well be a better weapon than a rock, but I don't see a need to carry a rock with me when I go out in public.
Why would I ever want or need a gun, life here in the UK just isn't so scary.

Totally irrelevant to a question of national policy on guns

If rocks are outlawed, only outlaws will have rocks!!

Nature manufactures rocks, humans manufacture firearms. A volcano or hurricane have an excuse for what they produce. If one wants to claim humans are capable of understanding the world and the implications of their actions, and what we produce, then what excuse do human have for producing so many weapons, for personal or war use? Tribalism and profit are certainly the ultimately excuse, but it does nothing for our species in collectively extending our species ride.

Life is not scary.
Until it is.
Then it can be motherfucking terrifying.
At that point - going and getting a gun really isn' t an option.
If your way works out for you - great. I hope it goes that way for me as well. If so - the worst that happens to me is I lose 1 pants pocket capacity.
But - if things do go sideways - at least I have some chance of protecting myself.
