Context "Myth: Criminals will always find a way to get their hands on a gun. Fact: Laws like background checks stop gun sales to criminals every day. Since 1994, these laws have blocked more than 4 million gun sales to people who could not legally own guns." https://www.everytown.org/debunking-gun-myths-at-the-dinner-table/
Supplementary #IRLAnthropologistBrunoLatour "Each artifact has its script, its 'affordance,' its potential to take hold of passersby and force them to play roles in its story. By contrast, the sociological version of the NRA renders the gun a neutral carrier of will that adds nothing the action, playing the role of an electrical conductor, good and evil flowing through it effortlessly. ... Reversing the dogma of moralism, the materialists insist that we are what we have - what we have in our hands, at least. ... For the NRA, one's moral state is a Platonic essence: One is born a good citizen or a criminal. Period. As such, the NRA account is moralist-what matters is what you are, not what you have" (Bruno Latour, 1994, p.31). Latour, B. (1994). 'On Technical Mediation Philosophy, Sociology, Genealogy.'

#MagazineForbesTheodoreMcDarrah "You are different with a gun in your hand; the gun is different with you holding it.

Addendum this meme is #MetaphorDeceitFallacious in the way that it seeks to reduce arguments about the responsibilities of gun ownership to materialist conditions of 'gun/pencil as neutral carrier' e.g. #TheoryInstrumentalismAGunIsJustATool - circumventing criticism (as a kind of #MetaphorDeceitBaitAndSwitch) as #ReasoningFallacyStrawman argument, which #MetaphorDeceitDisingenuous.ly sidesteps authentic criticism that guns sit within a socio-cultural frame i.e. #EpistemologySociallyConstructedKnowledge and are therefore not #PleaNeutrality.al.

Supplementary "What, if anything, justifies the authority of the state? What are the proper limits of state power? Under what circumstances, if any, is it morally right to overthrow a state? Within Western political philosophy, one of the most influential approaches to such questions asserts that the state exists by, and its powers are generally defined or circumscribed by, the rational agreement of its citizens, as represented in an actual or a hypothetical social contract among themselves or between themselves and a ruler. The classic social-contract theorists of the 17th and 18th centuries--Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), John Locke (1632-1704), and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78)--held that the social contract is the means by which civilized society, including government, arises from a historically or logically preexisting condition of stateless anarchy, or a 'state of nature.' Because the state of nature is in certain respects unhappy or unsatisfactory or undesirable, or because increasingly complex social relations eventually require it, each person agrees to surrender some (or all) of his or her originally expansive rights and freedoms to a central authority on the condition that every other person does the same. In exchange, each person receives the benefits that supposedly only such a central authority can provide, notably including domestic peace." [encyclopædia] #TheoryTheSocialContract
