PaulW you're wasting your time arguing with them. Until something dramatic happens to them personally they won't understand or even want to listen to you.
I've seen gun violence up close multiple times and I've lived in countries where firearms are illegal and I can tell you those countries where they are completely illegal there is a lot less aggression and obviously less random killing. In the US there are about 96 people killed a day from gun violence or 13,000 a year. For every 1 person killed with a gun, 2 are injured by guns. Nearly 2/3rd are mentally unstable people killing themselves and sometimes others.
More than 50% of women killed by their partners are killed by guns. America’s gun homicide rate is more than 25 times the average of other high-income countries.
People who don't see this as a problem, frankly have a problem. And if you still don't think these kids are making a difference, see Fred Myer's decision to stop selling guns.
In my experience less guns = more safe. I've also personally had friends who've had their guns they used for protection used against them. The influx of mainlanders bringing more guns and their gun culture to Hawaii is a bad thing for everyone.
