So we get very annoyed and defensive at people that see America's gun problems and then come at us. We're not a militia we're freakin nerding out over these things

I'm not a gun owner, but have many friends who are. I also worked professionally with a company that deals with gun ownership as well.
Unsurprisingly, these people are normal everyday individuals who happen to own a gun. The hysterics (and downright ignorance) surrounding having more gun ownership oversight on this particular (and largest) demographic is incredible.
Ultimately, as everyone is seeing in this thread, it always boils down to two sides yelling and belittling each other looking for a 'win'.
I'm supportive of increased gun control on individuals prone to violent crime and the mentally unwell. I believe these current laws do little to help that and apparently that belief also means I have a small pee pee.
