No you don't understand. The pro-gun community would support a solution, it just needs to be instantly and 100% effective without inconveniencing a single gun owner or costing anything.

It's a completely reasonable position and not at all just an excuse to do nothing.

Maybe the answer is that every single human being should own a gun and carry it every single place they go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Isn't it just fascinating how all the solutions proposed by gun owners and Republican politicians just happen to coincide with what's most profitable for the gun lobby?

But I'm sure people who manufacture guns are much more moral than the tobacco industry, oil industry, sugar industry, asbestos industry and all those other groups that got caught putting profits before people's lives.
