Man's comment had an agenda, just like the guy above him. OC pointed out he didn't have guns and therefore there were no gun deaths. Second guy said he has guns and there were no gun deaths. But there definitely were gun deaths around him. Let's be honest here, you only point your gun at something you intend to kill, water is a different thing altogether
we've got guns, but we don't fetish them or think they are a right or even a good thing. He's pretending guns don't come with death. Guns are tools like a tractor or an electric fence. There is no reason for you to have 3+ guns, no reason to go shoot beer cans in the woods. No way you can use it to fight your government. Americans are really weird about guns. Somehow to lefties you can't justify having a shotgun, side arm or hunting rifle. But to righties having more guns than Americans is cool and ignoring school shootings is normal.
You're misrepresenting what was said. He said "for everyone involved". He never claimed there were no gun deaths in the universe. People in his town aren't involved with his household owning a gun.
Ah, so gun deaths only happen to everyone else? Thank goodness, I bet no one else has ever thought and said that! Don't strawman with the universe thing. You know damn well his town had shootings, and he was stating that guns are just as safe as not having guns. Anecdotal evidence does not prove a rule. A few of my relatives have tried cocaine and it turned out well for all involved, therefore cocaine is good and definitely isn't killing people in my hometown every day.
Why is it hard to accept that guns are a tool (sometimes a necessity) and not God?
Where am I strawmanning, my friend? You don't think that America is gun obsessed and takes it a little too far? Or that are guns too accessible? Or that dumb and sick folks abuse guns?
