“Bad guys have guns. Why shouldn’t decent people have guns”

Americans don’t seem to understand that the world isn’t divided between “the bad guys” and “the decent people”.

Many of the “bad guys” with guns actually were decent people with guns. Then they forgot to take their meds or experienced road rage.

    Nothing. We’re a country of ~350 million diverse people who believe lots of different things. And this question seems in very bad faith from a 21 minute old account.

      Oh stop it. Are you actually claiming that you can’t characterize the culture of a nation of people, claiming that there is NO prevailing common beliefs? That’s nonsense. Your objection to the question is just a permission structure for some of the terrible things that Americans tend to believe and provides way more deference to a group that, based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.
