Anyone remember "All in the Family"?

"Daddy, do you know how many people were killed by handguns last year?"

"Honey, would you prefer they were pushed out of windows?"

God Bless Archie Bunker.

I had this one last fall with a co-worker - "Why do you need a gun?"

"Because pheasants won't get into my skillet no matter how nice I ask."

You can’t argue with stupidity, and logic doesn’t work ether.

"Only the military and police should have guns."
"That worked so well in Europe back in the 30's didn't it?"

I acutely used that one once, but the sad thing is that the lady didn’t know what I was talking about.
Sad state of affairs when people born in the last 30 years can only say
"I don’t know what all the hub bub world war 2 was about,
I mean why do they make all those movies about it, it was so long ago.”
She actually said that.

How about;
"Guys who carry guns are compensating"
Answer; "The only thing I compensate for is the stupidity of some of the people around me".

That speed limit analogy was good. I have a similar one.

"If only one child is saved then banning guns is worth it."

"Truth is, many many more children die every year in their own yard in private swimming pools. Given that fact, and following your logic, swimming pools should be banned and children only be permitted to swim in public pools with trained lifeguards. Private citizens cannot be trusted with such a dangerous item as a pool and only trained professionals such as lifeguards and the Coast Guard should be trusted with their safe use. Really, is it worth risking the lives of CHILDREN to have a private pool?"

Works with the "only cops and military should have guns" too.

"You must be compensating for something."

"Nah. It's so when you ask me to give you 12 inches and make it hurt, I can do you twice and then thump you on the head with my gun."

To be honest, on the rare occasion anyone's rude about my hobby, I nod and quietly say, "You might be right. I've never thought about it that way." It usually gives them vapor lock.
