those who spoke that BS with "Can you name one politician who would throw their political career
away with the suggestion we should take all the guns?"
Been a good three years since I've heard that BS spoken around here.
As a party should we start advertising that "We're not coming for your guns"?

They will run out and stock up on guns any time it appears that a Democrat might become President, because for some reason they think that some big gun purge is coming.

Self declared immunity from repercussions of what he was spreading.
Something he learnt from Trump.
Too bad history doesn't support the validity of that line of 'logic.'
To coin a phrase or two:
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
Instilling hatred in a crowd of people can backfire on you. Hate is like that.
