No I don't think gun owners are the most considerate and amiable people on the globe, far from it. I have talked to enough gun store owners and attended enough gun shows to know that lots of men in that culture are very insecure and tend to make up for it by being rude know-it-alls . You want to meet a group of considerate humble people walk into a MMA, Wrestling or Boxing gym. Tough people, not insecure, not paranoid, no chip on their shoulder.
Then why aren't there all these gun battles at shooting ranges when one person upsets another?
Your analogy is garbage. I assume you think guns are acceptable. Do you feel the same about rape?
My hell, do you even know anybody who owns guns? Do you think they cheer like they're watching a football game when a new shooting is announced on a news broadcast?
Do you think people doing legal and moral things (no, target shooting and wanting a way to have some self-protection is NOT violence) should be punished because they choose to do them?
Guns are just tools. Just metal, wood and plastic... and very important tools at that. You and I can walk down the street thanks to peace enforced through the barrel of a gun.
"When is abortion going to banned again and why should other people be responsible for funding it in any way? This should be a response to any big-gov loving nitwit who thinks guns are responsible for killing people.
Guns are responsible for killing like rape is responsible for abortion."

No, your reply to my post is garbage. My analogy is actually spot-on.
I think more guns, in more people’s hands, equals more gun violence. Of course there are those that think more guns, in more people’s hands, means less gun violence. An interesting theory.
Since the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, the U.S. has seen 1,518 acts of gun violence in which at least four people were wounded or killed
Every other modern, First World country on the planet has figured it out: Limit the access to guns, and your gun murder rate will decrease. It really is that simple.
What a shame that the US can't find a way to decrease the gun violence rate for its citizens.

We have too many cosplay toy soldiers who spend too much time playing Call of Duty, until that bunch dies off there is no hope for any rational approach to this issue.

People who compare the U.S. to other countries are ignorant as to what the country actually is. Hint: It is not "those other countries"

Yes, it does because rape is NOT responsible for abortion just like guns are NOT responsible for killing people. Grow a brain and some common sense while you are at it!
