Oh yes, these do come up, but in a less reasonable fashion and accompanied by points that don’t actually have anything to do with anything relevant. I did mention it was sad.
That’s because all ‘gun control discussions’ are actually political theater, the steps as regulated as Kabuki. The fact is that, 99.9999% of the time, our current system works pretty well. (Seriously. No state would legalize RAY-Guns!) The rest of the time, we have Chicago. But that’s not really a gun problem. It’s a family/society breakdown where young men have no positive family influence and thus turn to gangs problem. Or perhaps, just human nature, since reading the accounts of what sparks these conflicts is disturbingly like the Iliad.
If we taught the kids the classics, they’d see the follies of their violent ways!
Actually, it is not currently illegal to build a ray gun. You can make your own laser gun without any problems, but the most damage your typical custom job could do is pop a few balloons.
Sadly, this series of comics is the most intelligent, reasoned discussion I’ve seen on the subject of gun control in months.
Funny, I thought that those were the same trite arguments that you can hear every time this subject comes up.

I smell a homeschool science project!
Umesh is doing the news now?
What are you talking about? There’s clearly no relation. That guy is saddened, no sneering!
Looking at Krel watching them while eating popcorn is too funny!
Oh Snive, the moon will be the first target
we won’t attack the moon until we discover it has oil, then try to overthrow the moon’s dictator and free the moon people from his tyranny.
I don’t trust most people to employ geraniums intelligently, never mind radioactive materials.
Is that what you want? Unemployed geraniums, sitting on stoops drinking Old English and gradually losing their self-respect?
Well, Goddamnit, I think you just killed my presidential bid right there. Curse you, sir, curse you.
