Pretty sure that the point OP is trying to make is that the equal rights of LGBTQ+ people should be as unassailable if not moreso than the right to ursine limbs.

Dismissing other rights isn't the way to go though. It's not a zero sum thing, giving up guns doesn't get you other rights.

giving up guns doesn't get you other rights.

Except for the rights of a shitload of people to LIVE..

To the shock of absolutely nobody approaching the matter rationally, it turns out that flooding a country with legally obtainable death tools with little to no safety regulations leads to an overabundance of murders and accidental deaths involving said tools.

True, but banning said tools doesn't end the problem.

I'm not a 2A nut. I do have guns, but they're locked up on my mom's farm so I can target shoot for fun. I think gun control needs to happen, but legislation alone won't fix the issue.
