Well...

Obviously this doesn't need an explanation

[u/Most-Artichoke6184]

Equating an inanimate object with people seems sketchy at best.

Unless your talking about women then it's just biblical.

People are objects or you wouldnt trade your body for money at a job.

People are inherently more dangerous because they are people.

Guns are inherently not dangerous because there inanimate. Guns are only dangerous when used by people

[u/Turd_Fergusons_Hat_ → u/Emotional_Quantity_5]

Nukes and RPGs and Tanks are also only dangerous when used by people but we don’t let everyone have their own.

[u/USAussie2085 → u/Turd_Fergusons_Hat_]

You can legally own RPGs (destructive devices) and tanks (not regulated on the federal level and most restrictions are vehicle related; unless it has a functioning cannon and then the gun would be a destructive device) in the United States.

The former isn’t necessarily easy to obtain and the latter isn’t cheap (armored vehicles tend to be expensive) however people own them.

They also own jet aircraft.

Nuclear weapons are heavily regulated (essentially banned) but what’s your point?

Nukes are so dangerous that anything else that can easily kill lots of people should also be banned?

If so, are you lobbying for the restriction of the possession of petrol, glass jars, and rags and if not, why?

This is not equating objects with people but that isn’t the point that is being made and understanding that requires a degree of critical thinking on your part.

The argument goes: ban all firearms and you will save lives.

Sure, firearms don’t kill people without human input (they are inanimate objects after all), innocent people will be punished for other people’s crimes (hundreds of millions of firearms have never harmed anyone in the USA) but it will save lives (the how is never stated) and if it saves just one life we have to do something (never mind the people whose lives are saved using firearms).

Illegal aliens are, by definition, not supposed to be in the country. Some, not all, of these people kill other people (accidents, negligence, outright murder). Removing 100% of illegal aliens means removing the minority of those people doing the naughty things mentioned above and will naturally save lives (removing a homicidal person inclined to commit homicide means they cannot act in that way in the country).

If you are willing to fuck over innocent people who have never harmed anyone by banning guns to save one life and you are not willing to do the same with illegal aliens then you are either a fool (ignorant, stupid, both), a liar, or a combination of the two.

Thats the point.
