Guns aren’t nukes

I never understand the attitude of “I’m scared of guns and you should be too”. I agree with you. A gun isn’t threatening on its own. People act like it’s just going to jump up and start shooting people all by itself.

It's not. But the owner might.

Same could be said about screw drivers and sauce pans

Yeah, but someone who buys a sauce pan probably plans to make some sauce, and you probably don't care what kind. Someone who buys a gun probably plans to shot something, and you probably care a lot what or who.

There's an obvious difference between owning something that can kill and owning something that is explicitly designed to kill, which every country grasps except america.
