Let’s flip this around. Let’s build a bio dome for all the folks opposed to limitations on their current level of rights to keep and bear arms. They can bring whatever weapons they want and store them however they want. And carry/use them however they want.
Should be utopia for all. Just need to find a bulletproof bio dome cover

Some problems with that.
Some of them would shoot you if you forced them.
The ones that didn't go in, would shoot you on the outside.
Some of them on the outside would figure out how to make new guns.
Alcohol - I mean guns from other countries would come in from other countries.
You have to make it look appealing and make it catch on.

what's orange and looks good on hippies?
fire
rails are for trains
If I had a dollar for every time capitalism was blamed for problems caused by the government I'd be a rich fat film maker in a baseball hat.

You’d think the chance to live in Libertarian Nirvana (Freedome? LibertyDome? PatrioDome?) away from crime-infested Socialist Librul Hell would have folks storming the ramparts to get in
And if the refuseniks resisted sensible gun controls they’d have their weapons confiscated and given to the residents of Freedome. Or experience return fire from all the registered/insured/trained users.
Any new guns not sold to citizens of LibertyDome would be registered/insured and their owners trained.
And drugs/alcohol would be distributed without limitation or cost in FreeDome, because personal responsibility. And an armed society is a polite society.
What’s not to like

This asshole had the gall to claim his gun malfunctioned, as if failure to maintain your lethal equipment in a proper operating condition would be an excuse even if it was true. Doesn't sound like a well regulated militia to me.

You didn't mention enforcement. I ddidn't glaze over it. or gloss over it. You dismissed my question about it and have refused to described how your idea would look like in the real world when we are already struggling to keep cops.
I don't care about new gun owners who don't have trigger locks. Trigger locks are to prevent kids from using a gun. They won't stop an adult with a pair of scissors or a scredriver and a spare 20 seconds. I am not bothered at all by unlocked kitchen knives in homes without children. Don't care at all.
You attitudes are mostly that of wanting peopel to think like you, and be like you, this represents a kind of spiritual and perhaps psychological sickness for you, its an inability to recognize other people as individuals who exist serpartly from you. You should instead, realize people are going to think differently than you, and be grateful for this face, as the diversity in opinion is a healthy thing that helps keep our own views robust.
You ask what data? Like, how can I even answer that question? Are you asking me to describe a world that is fundamentally different than our own? When governments victimize unarmed populations, the death tolls go into the hundreds of millions, far in excess of all murders in industrialized nations in the last 100 years. Is there any data that trumps that? I get your point, youre trying to imply that I won't be swayed by data, that I'm purely ideological or even just based in emotions, but asking is there any data that would change your mind is a fundamentally silly question. You're asking me if the world was different... the world is not different it is the way it is. Or you're implying that absolutely ALL the data is on your side and I'm just sooooo blind to it that you want to know if theres any actual real world data that could convince me. This is a delusion. The data is not one sided. As for ideology, yes I believe people have the right to defend themselves and you cannot legislate away their need to do so.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Lol. Slavery was objectively immoral. Gun ownership saves lives. Its an insane metaphor. You might not like guns, but they do save lives as well as take them. You cannot equate it to slavery.
So yea, its pretty insane for you to expect this compromise to be one way, and even more insane for you to compare yourself to a level of victimization of an enslaved population just because your narcissistic desire to control everyone and make them think just like you is frustratingly impossible for you.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

So his defense is he is just too stupid and inept to keep his gun pointed in a safe direction and can't be trusted with guns?
And actually, the liability for a gun just going off on its own is on the company, not the person carrying it, for good reason. The driver is not liable for their tesla battery bursting into flames under normal operation.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

These things are very problematic in some instances. A gentleman from the dutch resistance gave a talk at my college. When a young woman asked him what we could do to prevent such a thing happening here as he experienced, he replied simply do not register your guns. The nazis had a gun registry, went door to door, and executed the fighting age males who failed to produce a firearm registered to them.
And yes, having a longer wait time DOES prevent you from defending yourself. This is common sense. You start getting death threats for some reason, and are told in a week you can have a gun. You're fucking defenseless for that week. No? is this not basic common sense?__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

Well that's a slick trick. A rewrite of The Nazi gun ban schtick is making the rounds on X and FB currently. Except the gentleman told of the Nazis killing citizens WITH guns.
