It doesn’t take too much effort to square the idea of being fine with firearms while not being a weapon-access absolutist. I’m able to have nuanced opinions about a lot of things that have negative externalities. Like how cigarettes kick ass but so do indoor smoking bans.

Right, so.

We're not anti-gun. Just anti the "only used explicitly for killing people" kind of gun.

I grew up and live in rural Canada. Rifles for hunting or farming are just part of life. Though the long gun registry did make them more of a hassle.

Why do you need a killing-person gun? What's that for?

Everyone with a rifle and a hacksaw has ready access to a very loud handgun.
