I will say nothing more about the gun-obsessed because they are "here among us" but I find their arguments as disingenuous as those promoted on almost any other issue.

Even a lowly educated white winger can see that guns enable just about anyone to kill/wound/intimidate/bully lots of people.

The idea advanced by gun-strokers that lax gun laws is the price we must pay for them to have access to more and more guns is utter BS. I really do not understand how anyone can support our lax laws regarding how many and what types of lethal weapons anyone can acquire and carry in public. Nor, do I understand how gun manufacturers, dealers and profiteers escape legal liability for the situation they foster.

how much they know about guns because they own one? But when it comes to climate change, they can't say anything for sure because they are not scientists.
