    No, I think you misunderstood, and want to turn a very important debate into a pedantic point about sheer ratios without wider context.

    Increased gun ownership has been repeatedly shown to increase gun violence. That’s a fact. To say that it’s “responsible” to increase or even maintain the levels of gun ownership is false.

    To say or imply that most gun ownership is responsible is like saying that most cigarette smoking is responsible…except when you consider every fucking horrible ill it wreaks upon society.

    You shouldn’t run your mouth with false information that is so “very simple and scooped”, because that misses the entire fucking point.

    Be less simple, simpleton.
