I am glad you can agree to reality as many people here cannot.
Crime rates belay the reality that most crimes are not prosecuted and even fewer end in conviction. It is estimated over a million women have been threatened by firearms.
The number of abusive relationships where one partner is afraid to leave because the other partner has threatened death with a gun is enormous in the US. Guns help perpetrate a ton of suffering that has nothing to do with convicted criminals.
If you grew up in an poor urban area you would know what it is like to duck for cover when you hear loud sounds. Countless millions of people live in fear everyday in the US because of gun proliferation.
Cherry picking crime rates when the laws are not enforced at all or are not applied evenly is not really proving anything in my opinion.
Would a ton of abuse, murder, suicide, and crime not happen without guns? The answer is an astounding yes.
Lastly the person has no answer because they believe guns are the solution to crime, fascism, and whatever other random problem they want to apply it to.

Guns don’t make people threaten others, they make the threats more real and frightening. Guns are part of the problem they aren’t the whole problem. Banning guns doesn’t solve this, we need a holistic approach that involves gun control but you don’t solve these issues by just banning guns. I’d argue you can adequately address these issues through things like red flag laws and individual bans.

I have. I’ve had to run from a shooting. I’ve had to run from a false alarm later.

I bet they don’t. Every leftist or liberal gun owner I’ve met has supported expansive gun reforms.
Honestly, this comes across as projection. You seem to view guns as the cause of every problem you want to apply it to.
Guns don’t stop fascism, but they make it take more resources to enforce. We have anonymous unaccountable state agents grabbing people off the street and sending them to torture camps. Now is not the time to disarm the most vulnerable in our society.
I think you are mistaken. If you have ever seen a young man with a gun you would know how it emboldens them with a false sense of power. Guns create situations because they are everywhere and easy to access.
I am an advocate for a dramatic reduction in firearms. Banning would be the most practical, but I could agree with a compromise that would regulate guns away from the majority of people.
I am very familiar with gun culture. For ever person that safely locks up there gun separately from the ammunition there are ten who do things like leave a loaded rifle against the wall next to their front door, have a loaded gun underneath their pillow, or have a loaded handgun in their purse where their children could easily access it
Every liberal I know doesn’t like guns and the ones that do are typically the exception not the rule. They are a minority which I don’t believe are necessarily a problem.
Honestly you come off as a someone who really doesn’t understand the suffering guns have caused our society. Your a half-baked apologist at best.
Fascism loves guns and if you think the second amendment people are not on the side of ICE you are fucking crazy.
You have exposed yourself as just another person who thinks guns solve problems. If you think gun ownership is going to stop or even slow down fascism then you have a metric shit-ton of catching up to do.
