I'm not a gun owner and not a gun fan, but when the extreme left basically calls NRA members terrorists and yet consider Hamas, MS-13, etc as recently injured parties that need defending - how are they supposed to react to that? It's not a new phenomenon, these are just the two most recent examples. They are going to be VERY suspicious of what kind of agenda they are looking at - as they should be.

To me, it's the same kind of thing that Pro-choice advocates have been seeing. Bit by bit, a woman's right to choose gets whittled down - first at local levels and the Feds are coming next.

Always be suspicious of the government taking ANY rights away.
