Liberalism and Gun Control:
Conservative: "Guns don't kill people; people kill people."
Liberals falsely believe that "guns kill people". Then liberals use this presumption leading to another conclusion. The liberal thinks in his/her mind, "if guns are outlawed then crime, murder, and homicide will disappear!" This is a false conclusion, caused by the false premise. Liberals generally ignore the fact that if/when firearms are outlawed or removed from a population then people resort to other means of murder/genocide. For example, humans used to fight wars using spears, swords, and arrows. Guns were not yet invented. But murder, war, and genocide were still practiced.
Liberals naively, ignorantly, foolishly, childishly believe in "fairness, equality, justice for all" and "the inherent goodness of humanity". Liberals (from Christian morality) believe that all humans are "born good" but "turn evil" according to "bad education, poor upbrgining, or social oppression (like whites-oppressing-blacks)". Liberals refuse the premise that people can be "born evil", or worse, "consciously choose to commit or become evil".
Therefore liberals absolutely reject the idea that "people kill people". Again as with the trend of liberalism, victim-status is the ultimate goal and ideal. Liberals want to be the "absolute victims of the universe". Because if they are life's biggest victims then they can "demand rights". It legitimizes and justifies the desire and battle for privilege, protection, security, luxury, wealth, etc.
If liberals were open-minded, which they're not, then they'd contemplate the idea that people are autonomous and self-responsible. If a man kills somebody else then it is the cause, fault, and action of the man. He is responsible for himself and his actions. Feminism presupposes that women are less responsible/moral/capable/powerful/autonomous than men. A woman is not responsible for herself. A child, less so. So the "privilege ladder" or hierarchy goes white-man, black-man, white-woman, black-woman, then "child". Children are least responsible for anything in life.
The process of aging, growing older, wiser, maturation, is therein an act of acquiring self-control, self-responsibility, morality, etc.
(This is the reason-why children should not play with guns, and respect/fear guns… because they don't have a mature sense of responsibility along with the preciousness of life & death. Children treat life & death as a "game", a video game, with little or no value.)
