 This is a stretch. To say that because a believe A then I actually knowingly or I’m unknowingly believe B is not a logical argument.

I’m anti gun. I also believe that are are numerous systemic problems that need to be fixed that don’t automatically get better because everyone has a gun.

Take the USA as an example. Their political system is not functioning in the best interest of the population.  Everyone having guns hasn’t stopped this from happening.

The same thing is true in the UK where there are much stricter gun laws but the outcome is very similar.

Guns are not the simple solution ‘pro gun’ would have you believe and they are not the only way to have a functioning democracy.
