        Arguing with Americans about guns is futile. It’s too ingrained in their culture, they grow up with it drilled into them.

        Being allowed to own a thing is different from being allowed to use it in public. A blind person shouldn’t be allowed to drive or carry a gun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they shouldn’t be allowed to display them in their home as art or something like that.
