It doesn’t seem that heated to me? Also I’ve never spoken to anyone who thinks that the actual gun objects are the problem; it’s understood to be synecdoche.

I think responding to a literal interpretation of someone else’s words as if that’s what they meant as a way to criticize the way they expressed their point is more damaging to the discourse because it’s a bad faith response.

Generally when people say or suggest that, “Guns are a problem,” they don’t mean the literal inanimate objects are the sole issue; it’s a shorthand way to refer to many things including access to firearms, lack of background checks, proper training, lobbying, and much more.

I believe they’re referring to the use of Uncle Thomas, which while perhaps semantically appropriate is definitely a racially charged moniker.
