> The NRA is a weaksauce gun ‘rights’ organisation, which is hated by just as many pro-gun people as anti-gun people.
They're still a contributing factor to the problem, and they're hardly "weaksauce."
> You’d need to overturn Warren v. District of Columbia* and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales to force the police to have a legal obligation to protect people, and are open to both civil and criminal lawsuits should they fail to do so.
I never said it's the easy thing to do, it's the right thing to do.

I didn't say that we should raise the voting age, I just used the fact it used to be higher to preemptively shoot down that counter-argument of legal adults who aren't 21 but can vote should be able to have guns, I guess it wasn't the best example.
