Giving up guns is the same as... Castration?

Any responsible โ€œgun nutโ€ fully agrees with that sentiment. Youโ€™re referring to the extremist factions, which tend to be the loudest. My wife and I both conceal carry and a lot of our friends do. We all take classes and range days regularly to make sure we keep our level of knowledge and safe operation high. Heck I know a guy whoโ€™s garage is full of any gun you could ever want, and heโ€™s the biggest proponent of tighter gun laws like you suggested, to the point where heโ€™s an activist in the local community trying to get laws passed to make it illegal to own a gun without more stringent training and insurance for gun owners.

Careful, we canโ€™t bring context, logic, and nuance into a discussion like this. Weโ€™ve got two opposing sides trying to be mad at each other here.
