He’s probably right. Because so many people nowadays are not fully educated on what’s happening, or on how to examine a topic objectively. Too many opinions are now based on apparent feelings of the peer group, vs conclusions of the individual.

I have been arguing with idiots today, because someone asked why it was easier to purchase a gun than a car and why they are different. Of course, they argued that just because one is a "right" and the other is a privilege was just an excuse. An excuse for what they never said.

Today, many Americans are willing to give up their basic rights, for some perceived protection from a violent gun-related death, which happens to be less likely than being killed by LIGHTENING STRIKES!

They said that I was missing the point and wanted to know why purchasing a deadly weapon was so easy, compared to buying a car. So I pointed out that more Americans are killed with bats and hammers, each year. I asked them if they were advocating for background checks on purchases of those deadly items - of course, it became a name-calling session from their side.

Lastly, I asked them if they think the Holocaust, the Soviet gulags or the killing fields could happen in America. Of course they answered, "No." I asked who is to stop them, if most Americans are disarmed or placed on some Government generated "do not allow to exercise their rights" list?
