I like guns too. I shot them at a range and I'm pretty good. It's like a video game where you make you're breathing right and all that jazz.

If someone asked me if I wanted to fire guns but also children were to die in schools due to unfettered gun access thanks to those rules. I'd say, thanks but no thanks.

No but you don't understand -- fixing the "children die in schools" part would be inconvenient for gun owners. They'd have to do things like "wait longer for a gun" or "prove they know how to handle and store firearms" and ultimately, isn't that a bigger tragedy than the murder of someone else's kids?

Yup. If you're "pro-gun" in the same sense as republicans then you're pro-death-of-children-and-other-innocent-people

You can have one without the other - where I live the bar for getting a gun and the regulations around them are so high that essentially all guns used in crime are imported illegally from abroad.
