And are you really going to use the “guns don’t kill people. People do.” argument. Really? In what universe is that true. Wake up. People WITH GUNS kill people.

Hmmm, you initially blame the gun, but eventually wake up to another key factor involved - people So, you obviously understand that a gun has never had it's trigger pulled by itself.

Speaking of great logic, I challenge you to find a statement I made saying I don't want to reduce gun violence. Anyone with any common sense is universally is against gun violence. But, some of us want to get to the true root cause of the problem, and not slap a band-aid on it. That is even better logic.

Again, I challenge you to prove that I ever said or posted anything to the effect of "not caring about people getting killed". The more probable issue here is your intolerance for anyone's opinion other than your's makes you emotional (or as you said, "angry) and therefore making statements based on emotion and not on facts. I hate to break it to you but facts don't care about your feelings.
It's ironic you want to take away my rights when I have never committed any crime using a gun. Why do I have to pay for the sins of others?
But, I tell you what, I'll offer a solution. The best part of this solution is that it covers any and all forms of violence, whether it be a gun, knife, or driving a Home Depot rental truck down the sidewalk. All we need to do is make a law saying it is illegal to kill someone. There, problem solved.
So, now that we know that all people will follow the law, and no criminal will ever have a gun in violation of the law, I guess you could then argue I don't need a gun to defend myself from anyone breaking into my home, etc. Even if they do, I can call the police (if they haven't been defunded) and they should be there in 15 minutes or so. Maybe they can get to me before I bleed out.
