Best Replies for Gun Control Nuts

Gun control nuts – we all know at least one. You try to argue with them rationally, make them see the light…but it just doesn’t work! When all else fails, the snark in your voice can start rising to the top, and who can blame you? If you’re lost for a response, try something from this mix-and-match list of sensible and sassy responses that highlight the absurdity of gun control arguments.
Suggested Gun Control Responses
Instead of gun control, why don’t we just make gun violence and murder illegal? I bet people wouldn’t commit those crimes if we did.
There’s no such thing as an “assault” weapon. Assault is something you do, not something you hold or carry. Calling an AR15 an “assault rifle” is like saying the 400 or so murders using hammers each year occur because of assault hammers.
You want to give peace a chance? I can respect that. My rifle and I will give you cover in the meantime.
You think guns should be treated like cars? I agree! We should be able to buy as many as we like, take them almost anywhere, rent them in every city, upgrade and modify them as desired, and own hundreds if desired!
I’m a supporter of gun control, too. That’s why I head to the gun range every Sunday to practice. You can only achieve accuracy if you control your gun properly, you know.
Guns are only made to k**l? This simply isn’t true. Guns are designed to eject a small projectile at a very high force. If anything, it’s the bullet that is designed to inflict maximum damage – and that’s not even true for every bullet.
Look, I have strong feelings about gun control, too. If there’s a gun anywhere near me, I want to be the one controlling it!
Sure, you can have my gun – ounce by ounce. Sadly, it has a max t***sfer rate of an ounce or two at a time.
You don’t need an AR15 to hunt? Actually, as it turns out, a properly used AR15 will take most animals down quickly and efficiently. That’s far more humane than a standard rifle or even a bow and arrow.
How do you handle people who try to change your views on gun laws and gun control?

My standard response is to ask why the laws already on the books aren't being enforced...
They usually stutter something out about the difficulty of enforcing those laws (duh)..
Then I point out that their premise seems to be that if they create enough laws some of them will be enforced in some way...
That's usually when they deflect and start talking about mass shootings at schools...
I live in China...We've had mass knifing at schools... And our schools are surrounded by steel fences with guards at the gates...
Then they continue to deflect by asking if I support putting our children in schools that are essentially prisons...
My temper usually flares about here and I respond with a comment about not being able to fix stupid....
At this point they usually call me an advocate for murder...
Funny thing is I haven't owned a gun in sixteen years...And that was a hunting rifle...Kept it at my uncle's house because my mom didn't like it...
Good thread... It was enjoyed

"Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician."
"I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy."
The problem is not the availability of guns, it is the availability of morons."
"Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars."
Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight

I carry concealed and don't talk about it. When the subject comes up ( in church,restaurants etc. ) I ask people what would you do If a man came through that door shooting?
I push them; "Really! What would you do?"
That's when I tell them I'm not dying with a hymnal or salt-shaker in my hand; I'm shooting back.

I find when people ask me my thoughts on gun control, they may see a little smile as my hand goes into my pocket. No, I'm not reaching for gun, although they do hear a click. It's mostly the hammer. Its great as a practical joke at parties.

If gun control is such a great way to protect people, Why is it that the places with the strictest gun control laws have the highest violent crime rates? Could it be because in the places with the strictest gun control laws,the criminals are the only ones with guns? The criminals
know that the people and businesses don't have guns to defend themselves with, so IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR CRIMINALS TO OMMIT CRIMES!

My father in law was a police officer for 22 years. I have read this more recently but he said back
then that police seldom prevent crime. Most of their time, over 85%, is investigating crimes already
committed, and doing paper work. Our local police, and sheriff, say that it takes about eight minutes
on average to respond to a call....longer of course to rural areas....and recommend obtaining a firearm
and become proficient in its use because the damage will usually be done before they can get there.
I prefer a gun in my hand over a cop on the phone.

He also said that a gun that is locked up or unloaded is totally useless unless you
intend to throw it at an intruder, and you'd better have good aim and a good throwing arm.
He advised, as did the police and sheriff here, that the gun should be loaded....and mine are.
Of course when children are to be in the house, all guns are safely stored/hidden well out of reach.
I cannot imagine any man not having the means or the courage to defend his family.
