“I was referring to the US”
Then I’m not sure why you addressed that comment to me, I was talking about ISrael. And why comparing The US to ISrael on gun violence is silly.
“It’s a moot point comparing Israel to the US. US has a second amendment, Israel does not. End of story.”
No not end of story. hHaving a second amendment is not a n excuse for having crazy policies. amendments can be changed (that is the very definition of theterm) When people woke up and realized that prohibition was crazy the response wasn’t “US has a nineteenth amendment end of story”
Furthermore, the second amendment calls for it to be “Well regulated” and from its existence in 1791 until 2008 in Heller it was not understood as applying to an individual’s right to bear arms, so it is a constantly changing story. There is no reason to “end” it now

“Additionally, getting high and addicted to drugs is not a use that is beneficial to society or to individuals.”
Says you. And I do agree. Just because people like doing something owning something that is bad for society doesn’t mean they should be allowed to do so.
and even things that all agree are beneficial like morphine we agree should be highly regulated and not readily available.
The fact that some will not follow the above rules is not a reason not to have them.
I’m not sure where it is that we disagree.
I am just pointing out flaws in the silly lines you are repeating from Hannity. That is not being intellectually dishonest.
Look the bottom line is if you think guns are a right and even if we have the highest gun death in the world as a result, since you enjoy guns or feel manly or safe or whatever. fine I get that. That is a point we can agree to disagree on.
Just try to stop repeating these absurd talking points comparing guns to suicide bombs and d rugs, and trying to use that to argue that guns should NOT be well regulated is just nonsense. And me calling you out on it is not intellectually dishonest, though I do get why pointing out the absurdities of your position is highly unpleasant
