The thing that pisses me off...
is that we can't have sensible gun control because there is a segment of the population that is convinced they need their guns so they can have a civil war against their own government someday.
How convenient for any foreign adversary that might want to take us down, a country full of armed nut- jobs living for the day they will be called on to turn their weapons against their own government and destroy their own country from within. Don't think for a minute that Russia and China don't recognize our nations civil war minded gun nuts as an asset.
These gun humpers have no clue what a "well regulated militia" is, and how The Founders would have meant for it to defend, not destroy, the republic they had set up.
These are the useful idiots that will end up losing more freedom than they will ever gain with their stupidity. They are mindless assholes that have no clue what actually happens after a coup, or how measures like martial law actually lead a nation closer to tyranny and not away from it.
It is this "we need to someday destroy the country to save it" mindset that keeps us from having sensible gun laws.
