IMO the whole GUN and WEAPON thing appears to be rife with hypocrisy.
'Guns bad...'. They say, but then they say;
'We must fund weapons (guns / ammo) to 'XYZ' country, to help them.'
Of course, country is big, and diverse opinions are in play, but the above quoted stuff (often) comes from same source.
(Snarky), I've often maintained a posture supporting BOTH SIDES, of ridiculous hypocrisy...;
'Guns bad, then how about we confiscate all our guns....send those confiscated weapons, to XYZ country, at War'!
