5. We focus way, way too much on the deaths and mass shootings. They're a drop in the bucket.

For every maniac "active shooter" there are hundreds if not thousands of broken unit, child-men who want to walk around your local grocery store with an AR-15 slung over their shoulder. You're having a nice day at the town carnival and suddenly you see some poor, lost incel walking around, proud as can be, with their movie merchandise on full display. Now you and your family and friends are forced to feel both repugnance and threat when you just wanted to have some fun.

We should focus more on that sort of thing. The open carry nitwits ruin people's fun. They are buzzkills. Sure, a few of them kill people, but for far too many people, that's an accepted fact baked into the cake. Mess up people's own personal good time, though? Nope, that won't sit well with them. Enough of that and they'd flat out repeal the second amendment.
