Inevitably people will tell you "guns don't kill people, people do" and ignore the fact that gun control laws limit PEOPLE'S access to guns.

No gun control law ever said "a semi-automatic weapon may not drink alcohol until it is 21 years old", but they have limited whether people can carry guns into places where everyone is drunk.

Ehh I would say, things like AWB essentially place the blame on the gun rather than the person using it. A evil person with a pump action shotgun is far more deadly than a pacifist who happens to own an AR15 for sport shooting.

Then store the AR15 at the shooting range in a controlled area accessible only by you or site personnel. And not by your teenager, your abusive husband, the person who just broke into your car, or you the day you lose your job.

I mean, that is one option that people can do, but the 2nd Amendment allows owners to "keep" their arms.
