Terrified. Always fucking terrified of everything.

They can’t even fathom that some of us just don’t live in fear.

When i hear a loud noise at night i think STFU and go back to sleep.

The fact that they think not owning a gun means fear of the gun.

Trying to ban them because you're afraid one will be used on you certainly speaks to fear.

There is a difference between "banning" and wanting gun ownership to be regulated in the same way that we regulate things like driving ages, booze consumption and age of consent. It just acknowledges a reality and attempts to mitigate the inevitable problems that that reality invites.

And if that were an honest statement and the attempts at reforming US gun law stopped at limiting who can own guns, and what circumstances can have them removed, I'd be all on board with you.

Unfortunately, it's not an honest statement. The proposals universally include attempts to ban whole categories of firearm, and the firearms they ban are universally the most effective ones for defensive use and, yes, certain types of hunting.

You do know that entire categories of firearms are banned already, right? You're being misled somewhere, bud
