That is a classic right-wing misrepresentation of the facts. No one is saying that only the government should have guns. On the contrary, there is broad support on both sides of the isle for common citizen gun ownership. However, a majority of Americans also support common sense gun laws, including background checks, waiting periods, red flags, safe storage, raising the minimum age for legal purchases, closing the gun show loophole, severe penalties for straw buyers or possession of ghost guns, caps on magazine capacities, and a ban on military assault rifles. With all that in place there would still be a LOT of room for legal gun ownership by the common citizen.
