The pro-gun lobby is not unlike the pro-Russian-invasion lobby insofar as the same tired old tropes are trotted out in an attempt to misdirect and confuse ignorant foolish people. The reality, however, is quite different. The USA is the only nation on Earth where nearly anyone can buy guns and bullets any time they want. Consequently, the USA suffers an annual toll of gun-related deaths that exceeds the death toll even of nations in the midst of civil war. Only a moron would imagine that the real fundamental problem is the ease with which civilians can acquire lethal weapons and plenty of ammunition. But there are plenty of morons out there, and so the USA will continue to experience 33,000+ deaths per year for ever.
