Gun ownership is a right.
Meaningless. You can't prove it. It's simply five words strung together.
I can tell, that in truth, the deaths of 12,000 people a year does not really bother you. More important to you is a tenuous concept that makes you feel better, mostly because of the political intellectual games you like to play. Your own selfish desire to engage in your own self aggrandizing pontification of an ill thought out political ideology trumps any real concern you have for the deaths of people.
If you actually cared about people and their lives, you would look harder at the numbers, both deeper and broader. It's apparent, that no matter what numbers or philosophies that are presented to you, would not matter. You're the worst of the worst, both in argumentative style, and in obtuseness, putting your unhealthy beliefs and fears above the health of society.
