The whole world is built on “screw children”, and if we changed that, this would be an alien planet to us.

You’ll need the police’s guns to take away other people’s guns. So you’re very pro-gun; you just believe that only the Government (which is, of course, so reliable, honest, moral and virtuous…) should be allowed to have guns. There is no such thing as gun control. There is only centralizing gun ownership in the hands of a small political elite and their minions.

This is how insane society remains, that anybody who points out logical opposites in the most essential human topic of ethics, is considered to be insane.
