!!! I'm actually FROM Kennesaw!! Hahaha. I completely that we had a law requiring every household to own a gun, which is what I assume you are talking about. It's mostly just a middle finger to the D.C. law though, you'll never, ever get arrested for it.
It took me a while to think of why this argument didn't make sense, but I finally got it.
1) If you argue it from you're perspective, the same thing could be said about the man waving the gun: he's definitely wishing that you don't have a gun. And more importantly,
2) That's true that your first wish should be that he doesn't have a gun, but you can't change that fact. The only thing you have under your control in this situation is whether you have a gun or not. In this case, most people would want the gun.
I'm going to assume you mean fully automatic, and that's not really true. You can only own fully automatic weapons after an insanely specific set of rules and regulations have been met, and the guns are just as insanely expensive. Not to mention they have to be made prior to 1986, and you're not really allowed to just tote them around. You can take them to a shooting range though.
I agree with warning/banning that guy who was just calling everybody lefty communists who didn't agree with him, but isn't this a little silly?
I don't think you or I are qualified to talk about this, since neither of us have attempted to kill someone (I hope). That being said, I would think if anybody would be able to kill someone with a knife, I'd pick the felon over the victim.
Also, you are very angry. <3

Yes, the argument that removes the factor of guns being waved around in this street walking scenario is the one that makes no sense.
Suppose you have a point, the random with a gun is wishing you don't have a gun, then both sides have a similar understanding, and removing guns would solve that problem.
Also "there's nothing you can do, he has a gun", well not if there are no guns.
