Actually it was so simple that I didn't have to buy it, but made it myself

Again, this is an honest (and thus convincing) argument instead of the evasive "You're kinda right, but guns aren't that bad". This is exactly what I was getting at. State your opinion and don't budge. Discuss the facts and acknowledge the difference of opinions, but don't discuss the validity of opinions.
