    Kevon: “Handguns should be banned… long guns should be regulated…”

    You: “and let him have access to guns again?”

    I’m pretty sure that’s not what ‘banned’ means

    I think you’re misreading their disagreement with you by assuming your statement is a binary of “this person has guns or not”. They’re addressing the dimension of “why do we have harmful weapons designed to kill people as part of the fabric of society”.
    Whether or not this particular person should have access to guns is not the only interesting question.
