In what way does this detract from what they said?

"We don't like guns, we need them"

"Oh yeah, well what about the times you needed guns?"

People all over the world like guns. Marksmanship is literally an Olympic sport. It is fun to shoot targets and clay pigeons and you should try it.

I go to the range every week to shoot my collection of guns. You and I liking guns due to them being fun does not mean leftists as a whole need to enjoy them.

Literally every leftist org I've ever been around likes guns and goes shooting. You have to be prepared and liking guns isn't some horrible thing with American consequences. I don't even live in America, people have guns here and we don't have school shootings.

Again... Nobody is arguing that this isn't true.......

... Just that every leftist does not have to like guns. Don't know why this is so hard a concept.

Days later, I would realize that we are in the comments, proving the middle of the meme correct by arguing semantics for no good reason! Hahey!
