I’ve never condoned Kirk’s actions, and as an Aussie it was amusing that after he railed against Australian gun control that he was shot mid dog whistle on a question about gun violence.
But Kirk is irrelevant to the fact that your average man is law abiding and not an addict.
Your average man in which context? From a poor background and family with troubles? Then yea in that context mostly likely your average man. But reductive statements like this would not help a discussion of this type really.
Well that depends on what country we’re looking at but if you ever find yourself being held at gunpoint I doubt you’ll find that equivalence very reassuring.

I mean, in the broad sense,your average man breaks the law constantly while driving, at the very least.
Speeding is a bit different from holding someone at gunpoint during a home invasion.
Which is why speeding won’t get you a felony conviction…
Yet around the same amount of people get killed by both each year.
