Do me a favor and run your little plan by a mental health professional, a social worker, a paramedic, a 14-year-old babysitter… The moment you left those guns in the hands of my emotionally distraught neighbor for even a second after he asked for help, you lost this particular argument.
There are decent arguments for a UBC; you’re not making them. You should be focusing on what few public safety benefits would actually arise. You should be drawing attention away from the myriad administrative clusterfuck issues where UBCs fail, and toward those few scenarios where UBCs would actually benefit public safety. You should be conceding that “Universal” is completely impractical. You should be pointing out that none of the proposed "U"BC plans have ever actually been truly “U”, and that all of them have included broad exceptions in a (piss-poor) attempt to avoid many of the problems I’ve described.
No. If they want to surrender their firearms they can do so to an FFL or a police station. I’m very familiar with mental health stuff and having access to the guns in any way shape or form is extremely dangerous. That includes at places you frequent. The option is not, you taking them or nothing. Load them all in your car with your buddy and drive down to the local range. Arrange for storage there and leave them in the storage.
If you want to have guns you have to have the responsibility too. Kid time with the deadly weapons is over.
you want to have guns you have to have the responsibility too.
No, you don’t get to make that argument. Not after you try to make me a criminal for trying to take such responsibility. You’re continuing to make the same mistakes. Argue better.
You’re not a criminal for doing that under the current laws. And I straight up gave you the answer to the quiz for when it happens under UBC. You’re just trying to be outraged at this point.

Outraged? Nah. Bored. After you murdered your own argument, I’ve got nothing left to do but play sudoku, jerk off, and fall asleep.
Sure, and yet, here you are.
