The other fallacy of the pro-gun argument is the distinction between law-abiding gun owners and criminal gun owners. Of course they're different in certain respects, no one denies that, but the thing that ties them together like fraternal twins is the gun. All of those guns start out the legal property of somebody and due to the shabby mish-mash of so-called gun control laws in the country they flow unabated from the law-abiding twin to the criminal twin. Naturally the good twin raises up his hands in feigned innocence and proclaims no responsibility for this.
My evil twin took them! I'd like to meet that dude someday. What's that you say? It's just a lame metaphor? Oh, OK. Never mind.
"All of those guns"? Really? Every gun produced and sold in the US ends up in criminal hands? Or just a percentage? And what is that percentage? And how many of those end up in criminal hands because they were stolen? I guess we need to add theft to our "mish-mash of so-called gun control law," huh? Oh, it's already illegal? OK, never mind.
