(14,139 posts)You posted that in the Gungeon, we believe that. It's more than absurd; it's a lie. It is simply not true.
Of course there is overlap between gun owners and criminals.
There's also overlap between car owners and criminals.
Yet, for the vast majority of car owners, they actually ARE legal, law-abiding citizens right up until the moment when a tiny handful of them cross the line into criminality by drinking and driving, or by driving recklessly.
I really DON'T see your point, still, because I don't think anyone here has ever said that criminals don't own guns, nor have we said that law-abiding citizens don't occasionally commit crimes with those guns. If I'm wrong, if someone has said that, I'd love to see a link.
I believe the much more prevalent view here is: You don't get to restrict my rights or take away my guns just because a few people misuse or abuse that right or engage in criminality with their guns.
