The mistake your making is assuming these are sincere arguments from the gun lobby. They are lies designed to filibuster the issue until it goes away. I've used this line for so many years now that I'm sure most people don't know any more where it comes from.
There was a British television show in the mid and then again late 1970s called Fawlty Towers with John Cleese as the hotel owner Basil Fawlty.
In probably the most famous episode called 'The Germans', Basil suffers a concussion before a German family with hotel reservations arrives at the hotel and he constantly tells his staff 'whatever you do, don't mention the war' (all the while constantly referencing the war himself "What would you like for Hors d'oeuvres? Hors d'oeuvres which must be obeyed at all times."
The purpose of these false counter arguments is to deflect from the guns so that people will obey "whatever you do, don't mention the guns."
