It all starts and ends at that point.
No, that isn't the point. Having guns and rights to shoot people are totally different things. Also, my questioning has been about the statements made in the the first post. It compared things to other countries, so it made comparisons as a subject, not me.

I don't agree shooting people for stealing candy bars, but that hasn't been under my critique (or at least the point of it) as it's just a matter of opinion and legislation. I have critiqued the false facts.

You just try to point out that if it's in the law, the conversation should stop there, altogether. As it's "written in stone" or something like that.
