There are more guns than people in this country yet only around 1/3rd of the population owns guns. About 14% of gun owners or roughly 3% of the US population owns between 8 and 170 guns. These "super" gun owners account for the majority of "extra" weapons floating around in society. And largely these people aren't the problem. I don't think we need to enable their obvious obsession, but they aren't the cause of mass shootings. It's the proliferation of weapons in the suburbs for "home defense" that leads to more senseless deaths.

And gun owners do a really shit job of defending their fetish. Because honestly that's all it is. None of these clowns are "defending democracy" or whatever other bullshit they spew about why gun ownership is "sO nEcEsSaRy"! And they lie constantly about what gun control is. They always frame it as "they are taking all of our guns away from us!" yet even in the most gun controlled countries there are paths to gun ownership for hunting and sport. It a group of very disingenuous and whiny people who do a lot of damage to our country.
