Here’s some images of the antis. These all fit as false dichotomies. Making comparisons of two things that aren’t really similar to falsely prove a point.

First up EVERYBODY has a right to health care. There is nobody in this country. Rich, poor, criminals, and illegal immigrants, Race, gender, religion, and creed. All can get healthcare. NOBODY is entitled to enslave doctors, nurses, pharmacies, drug companies without compensation or agreement. That’s just bullshit out of the gate.
Then to compare it to a FIVE YEAR OLD OWNING A GUN???!!?? Yeah because that can totally happen. I can see people thinking that somehow having to PAY another human being to render services or deliver goods might somehow be the denial of a “right”, but somehow thinking a young child can own or buy a gun??? Who thinks this?

The same question can be asked: Why do the police in your town carry high capacity magazines? Why has EVERY gun control legislation exempted police and private security from magazine limitations? Because it DOES matter, and it matters because you might need a gun to defend innocent lives, and you do NOT want the arbitration of shallow-thinking “Progressives” to be part of that life-saving equation.

No to BOTH! Toys come with warning labels about supervision and age restrictions. If you kid chokes on the toy gun, you’re at fault. You read the label and accepted the risk.
Same goes with guns. Allowing unsupervised minors to play with guns is a CRIME, committing violent acts is a CRIME, and guns do indeed have lawyer warnings on them, and in their manuals. You do something stupid or irresponsible with them, you’ve accepted the risk.
Hey, but PAID LOBBYISTS of the gun control industry believe this crap! Is there any doubt why their proposed “Safety” laws are equally dumb and fruitless?
Well gee, maybe if you treated that pink 1911 as a firearm and not a toy, your kid wouldn’t be playing with it and wouldn’t get shot…
^^ THIS ^^
But that would require the parents pull up their Big-Boy & Girl Depends and act like, well, parents.
Also note the running theme of no personal responsibility.
A parent lets their kid play with a gun , it’s the gun company’s fault. A parent lets their small child play with a toy and chokes on it, it’s the toy company’s fault.
Someone gets shot, it’s the magazine mfg’s fault.
And note how it’s not just about guns, they take the exact same restritive view on toys that are shaped like guns, or books they don’t like.
What’s the point of a nanny state if the country is full of adults?
There’s a reason their ideal State is basically a giant School.
And that they see themselves as the teachers in that frame.
“Hey, but PAID LOBBYISTS of the gun control industry believe this crap!”
Most don’t. Most push it because they’re paid to by the people that believe this crap.
That is a fair point.
I guess I’m being generous claiming them as stupid or ignorant, because evil and vindictive is so much worse…
I love how they assume that we agree that being able to sue for misusing a toy gun is a good thing.
I don’t remember the police reports mentioning one, single, solitary, magazine other than the ones that Lanza brought with him.
I remember the CT governor making a snide remark about such, but no actual evidence that Lanza owned a less than standard capacity magazine for an AR.
If bank robbers fill up their car tanks before heading out, then we need to limit car gas tanks to 5 gallons.
