The pro-gun side has actual experience with guns and the empirical evidence that none of the guns in their safe jump up and run around shooting up schools.
The anti-gun side has feelings, Helen Lovejoy, and David Hogg. And "science!" of the "I Fucking Love..." kind.

This quote is a strawman argument so clear that you could use it in a rhetoric textbook as an example. To respond in kind, I would say “the pro-gun side has a fantasy of defeating the military with a team of rebels a la Star Wars,” because, just like you can dig up the bleeding-hearts, I can dig up the militia-fanatics.
Actual anti-gun arguments include:
- https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country
- Assuming you don’t plan to take on the military yourself, why the semiautomatic?
- Most people who attempt suicide and fail will regret it. Most people who try to shoot themselves don’t fail.
Actual pro-gun arguments include:
- I live in the middle of nowhere and occasionally get attacked by elk.
- Most gun regulations are stupid and only serve regulatory capture. Learn to propose technically literate regulations and then we’ll talk.
- The Proud Boys send me death threats.
Oh, you want empirical evidence?
The NRA doesn’t allow guns in their conventions.
When they have a convention, gun-related deaths go down. Not because School Shooters are prevented, but people that attend the conventions are not having accidental discharges, and if they get into arguments, they don’t pull out guns in the heat of anger, and they DO NOT blow their own balls off shoving the gun back into their belt. This is a special category in the Darwin Awards.
Gun related deaths in the state the convention is held go down.
Gun related deaths in the city go WAY down.
The problem sure as shit is the guns, even among ‘responsible gun owners’ as the NRA swears their members are.
Guns are tools that make killing easier. No one on the left is claiming anything other then that. All you have is strawmen which shows how bad your case is.
America's lose gun laws, coupled with how we demonize and fail to properly treat mental illness is the problem. A problem other countries don't have.

Well, considering what happened in the vicinity of his home, do you want the leader of the Gro(y)pers shot…?!
…and you know what you’ll be admitting when you say ‘No ’, OP.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
