Your anecdote is meaningless when 2/3 of the country doesn't own a gun. Turns out you can't extrapolate a data point like that

the most centrist of liberal friends

Personally not something I would be bragging about but you do you I guess

    So your argument is that unless a majority of Americans own guns, you're not even allowed to correlate America with guns at all? What a dumb argument.

    Nobody ever said that the majority of Americans own guns, they said that guns seemed like a more American solution than 1W+ lasers that could easily fry a camera from a distance.

    Unless you have the numbers to suggest that more people have those kinds of lasers than the 100M+ people who have guns, then your point is meaningless.

    At the end of the day this was an unserious suggestion to fire guns at utility poles made in jest towards a country with constitutionally enshrined gun rights and an unhealthy gun culture. Why be this uselessly pedantic about gun ownership statistics that nobody even mentioned or challenged?
