If no gun owner is responsible, why bother citing examples of irresponsible behavior?
What kind of stupid question is this? I am citing instances of irresponsible behavior
because gun owners are not responsible people, despite pretending they are.
On the one hand you say that one who illegally obtains a firearm and fails to report it stolen is not a responsible gun owner and on the other hand you say all gun owners are irresponsible. Meaning that even those who purchase their guns legally and report them stolen are also irresponsible. So what is the point?
Of course they're irresponsible...as many as 600,000 guns a year are stolen from "responsible gun owners". There is no such thing as a responsible gun owner if that's what "responsible gun ownership" looks like. And on top of that, only 86% of stolen guns are reported to the police!
ONLY 86%. Why isn't it 100%? Why aren't 0 guns stolen a year? Simple; gun owners are not responsible people.
Your error was in misconstruing his original remark about responsible gun owners to mean that all gun owners are responsible. Obviously that's not the case. Some are responsible, some are not. That is a fact, and your personal feelings and opinions about gun owners is irrelevant.
None are responsible. That's the point. "Responsible gun owner" is a fallacy exactly like "No true Scotsman". Everyone is a "responsible gun owner" until they're not. That's the "No true Scotsman" fallacy.
"Responsible gun owners" who don't report stolen guns do so because they want the gun to end up in the hands of a criminal or terrorist.
Don't be an idiot.
Then explain why 14% of "responsible gun owners" don't even notify the police when one of their guns are stolen. What could
possibly be the reason nearly 33,000 guns a year are stolen and never reported to the police? Only three true reasons exist;
1. The "responsible gun owner" doesn't know how many guns they own, so they don't know when one goes missing.
2. The "responsible gun owner" is simply too fat and lazy to notify the police.
3. The "responsible gun owner"
wants the gun on the street where it can end up in the hands of a criminal and/or terrorist.
No other explanations make sense.
