The reason gun owners get defensive is they are tired of non-gun owners who have no knowledge of guns but want to make rules. It's like gay men wanting to make laws concerning women's reproductive health.
Just because a gun looks like a military firearm or was based on a military design doesn't mean it operates like a military firearm. Jeeps and hummers are based on military or battlefield designs but the civilian versions are much different.
Look at the last paragraph in the comment I wrote above yours.
Also, more typical responses that I've heard too many times now. Always trying to compare guns to other issues. It's not the same.
Women's reproductive health doesn't pose a threat to everyday Americans walking the streets. Women's reproductive health doesn't put bullets in people's heads.
I mean I get what you are trying to say, it's just that it really is not comparable at all. Non gun owners have a right to have a say in gun laws because the presence of guns is something that affects everyone's personal safety and has the potential to help or harm a person's personal freedoms.
I won't go into detail about how that process works and why.
I was simply speculating on an idea that the OP had proposed. I was not trying to propose any gun laws or even claim that I knew anything about guns, and right away I got two very defensive responses, both telling me I don't know what I'm talking about etc.
Makes me question why someone would get so defensive like that. I think sadly a lot of people who own guns don't understand the true power of their weapon and don't quite understand the responsibility they take on when they possess a firearm.
Gun rights are in the constitution, but that doesn't mean that it is priority over all other rights.
My whole point is the actual threat of "Gun Violence" is far less than we are lead to believe. We are fed a steady diet of hype and misinformation making law abiding gun owners out to be the bad guy. If you can't understand why that becomes tiring then that is your problem.Maybe you should do something about overcoming your irrational fear. You are more likely to die from other things that we do nothing about to prevent or decrease the likelihood but blame societies problems on guns. Just because a law may make you feel safer doesn't mean it actually will in reality. Just look at France.
