I haven’t seen any gun owners on this site balk at “logical restrictions”.

lol "on this site"

How about in the actual halls of power in America over the last 30-40 years, where it actually matters? Y'all talk like you're reasonable but once you get in the voting booths you're completely different and people are (rightfully) tired of the lies.

I have multiple AR-15s and two different stamped weapons. They're toys. I love them and they're fun, but they're toys. I've got other toys I love, too.

[GSU&UT 1,798]

Was going to say that I'm pretty certain @bad_teammate owns several kinds of firearms, there are lots of gun owners who know it's time for something to be done and yet the GOP refuses to act even though the NRA is becoming less and less popular.

[bad_teammate 13,132]

Being around other gun owners is the worst part about owning guns. It's like having a "talk to me about how cool racism is" sign.

Guns are cool, though. Cool as hell.

Also, when the revolution comes, I will snitch out all of my gun-owning, "tragic boating accident" acquaintances and laugh and laugh and laugh.

No. I’ve hunted with lots of Hispanic guys tho.  The sizeable chunk of the Asian engineers at my office love AR’s. They don’t gaf about a bolt action deer rifle or Italian OU, but will build the shit out of the ARs.  But again, surly. All gun owners are trumpkin rednecks rah rah.

Are you under the impression that these aren't the kind of people that shout the loudest the second they hear the phrase gun control? It really doesn't matter who owns guns when the conversation is being driven by a specific ideological group.

It is definitely true that the worst part of being a gun owner is having to be around other gun owners, especially when they refer to their guns as "toys". I'm a 30 year old man. I don't play with toys.

Yes, you do.

(Hey, worried conservatives, you can still get out ahead of this and push for sensible gun reform, but you won't, because you think toy ownership is more important than stacks of dead children.)

Emasculate gun ownership in an attempt to make men feel bad for owning a shotgun. Add this onto the purposeful confusion of young kids about their gender and you've got yourself a plan that just might work.

You are trying to obfuscate, the idea that gun owners in this country that are fighting against regulation are somehow a very diverse group is absolutely not the case. The racial makeup of all gun owners may be fairly non-white, but again they aren't the ones who are pushing back against common sense regulation.

The premise of your question is confusing. Are you asking me if I treat my shotgun like a child treats a doll or like a tool I use to protect my family and property from those who wish ill will against me?

if you want to argue that US military bases -- where people spend their lives learning to deal with bad guys with guns by using guns, and where it is chock full of those guns -- are unarmed areas, then fine.  to slorch's point, we just need to make our schools a *little* better than US military bases at preparedness to deal with someone with a gun.

Your shotgun is more likely to kill someone in your house than protect anyone in there. The odds that someone in your house is going to eat that shotgun are much higher than you being John Rambo and saving any of them.

If you want to protect your family, get rid of that shotgun.

But you won't, because it's not actually about your family's safety, it's about your manly feelings.

Numbers don't lie but the people who present them sure do. If my gun wakes up in the middle of the night and shoots one of them I'll make sure you hear about it so you can add it to your bragging montage

What's the lie, darling boy?

Is it a lie for me to say that your shotgun is more likely to be fired while in the mouth of one of your children or your wife than used against a deadly intruder? Or that it's more likely that you, with your easily-wounded male pride, are more likely to kill your own family with that shotgun than protect them?

What if she cheats on you? What if she takes the kids and half your money? What will that tool do? That precious toy that makes you feel so tough and strong? Might you turn to it in your time of suffering and wounded ego? And if so, what answer does it have for you?

This one, because the truth would be "the average shotgun is more likely . . ."

You don't know of any heightened or lessened risks at play due to individual choices made by the gunowner.

This is why there cannot be reasoning with the anti gun crowd as I'm sure you believe about the pro gun crowd. There's just no reasoning with that kind of nonsense. We just have to defeat you at the ballot box. It's the only way we can shut up that kind of drivel.

You assert knowledge of his average-ness when you know none of the underlying factors other than the mere existence of the gun.  Despite that lack of knowledge, you assert a comparative judgment (you are more like to x than y) that necessarily relies on that information.  I felt like my argument was pretty clear.
