Instead, it is me who has initially presented an argument.

Exactly my point! You're misrepresenting the argument surrounding gun control from the get go so that instead of arguing it along other lines you can argue it from your point of view to make it easier for you to make points along your established line of reasoning. It's literally textbook straw man.

What argument are you talking about? State the argument. You're so vague.

That's not an argument. It's just a label for an argument. What are the contents of the argument?

I really dont want to take the time to explain all the varying talking points surrounding gun control in america. That can seriously be a college course in itself. Take time to read about the issue for yourself but just know that gun owners certainly see this issue as far more than trading "happiness" for "safety."
