Adding to your argument.
I am coming from an emotional side, please bear with me.
Consider the following question and comment.
Start of with a comment.
I'm aware of gun violence and as such I view that there needs to be a balance between personal rights and legitimate public safety concerns.
The end result of the government's record when enacting restrictions on anything for public safety, wheter it is alcohol, drugs, prostitution, gambling, guns or anything else over the last 100 or so years shows that the government prohibition policies create far more problems than they solve.
Make a statement that crack, meth, and other highly addictive and destructive drugs which are destroying communities all across America would probably have never been created by Organized Crime if the government didn't create the markets for their products.
Say to her, Let's pretend that all guns, legal and illegal were collected, how would she stop organized crime from setting up illegal gun factories and supplying street criminals with untracable and untractable full auto assault rifles, pistols and shotguns.
She will probably come up with, well, you don't need a assault rifle to hunt a deer or something like that.
You come up with something like the following: In a free country you don't have to justify your actions, it is up to the government to justify restrictions.
Follow up with, I have no issues with background checks, have no problem with restricting guns from criminals or people with serious mental issues.
You say the following, the only thing I'm guilty of is not being active enough in getting politicians out of office who continue to promote government programs that are destroying many communities and create climates that encourage violence all across this nation.
I don't know if my comments will help, but hopefully you will have fun.
