"You" in this context, is reffering to over 200,000,000 individuals.

Fuck your gun control. If you'd stop trying to disarm the proletariat you'd have all the other things.

It's crusty as hell but checks out.

80% of Americans don't support gun control. American Political parties are coalitions among themselves. Even if Ds won by 20 points they won't have the support to do things like implement nationalized healthcare or overturning the 2nd Amendment.

"80% of Americans don't support gun control" is pretty laughably wrong, considering the numbers actually paint a much different picture. According to Pew and APMRL, 58% of Americans want stricter gun laws, and nearly everyone—86%—supports universal background checks. 86%. Not exactly a fringe opinion, is it?

Also, the idea that no one’s on board with any gun control measures conveniently ignores the fact that a majority of Republicans even support some restrictions like keeping guns out of the hands of people with mental illnesses. It’s almost like you made this number up.

Sure, not every gun control proposal gets broad support—take things like an assault weapons ban, which has more partisan splits—but even there, almost three-quarters of Americans are on board with requiring licensing and testing, just like with cars. So, trying to paint gun control as some sort of massively unpopular idea just falls flat.
