It's also the type of legislation thats been applied and immediately abused. So the reason most states don't have it is that the gov can't be trusted to have discretion of basic human rights.

Nope, get fucked. You don't get to insist that actual people get murdered month after month just because you're capable of imagining legislation being misused.

Even disregarding how deeply fucked in the head it is to be more upset at the idea of a gun owner losing their guns than innocent people losing their lives, you could address that misuse through voting, protest or incremental reforms.

A gun owner losing access to their guns is not a tragedy even remotely comparable to a room full of children mutilated beyond recognition by a legal gun owner and "being able to murder anyone at any time with minimal effort" is not a "basic human right".

So your strategy is to just blatantly lie about what's happening. I don't think so. Bye.

People are being murdered because the gun laws are hopelessly inadequate yet you staunchly oppose changes to them on the grounds that hypothetical people could hypothetically use them to take guns away from a hypothetical innocent person that was no danger.

Seems pretty clear to me.
