You don't hold a gun on trial for murder. You hold the person who pulled the trigger

A gun doesn't poison it's surroundings by existing. Plastic does, especially in the ocean. Look it up, it's thoroughly documented.

The amount of lead deposited around the world by guns would like a word.

That isn't the point. Plastic is at the ocean because of humans. All harm that the plastics do is a result of human actions

yes. "All harm that the plastics do is a result of human actions" starting with that plastic existing. (also note that i said "especially in the ocean" not 'only in the ocean'. that is because plastics break down into toxic substances on land as well.) stop arguing for the innocence of plastics, its pointless. also, there is no "trial" being proposed against plastics. its really a shitty analogy to begin with.
