Your fear of MY guns is irrational. None have ever harmed a human or been used in a crime.

129. pretending that the NRA doesn't have great power, first of all

Then let's deal with the other obvious falsehood here, that the OP author is ignorant of NRA talking points. That's absurd. He references the grand-daddy of all of them, namely that gun control legislation is about confiscation of legally owned firearms. The author references this NRA talking point in the final lines of his post.

In fact, the 1994 AWB, for example, didn't criminalize possession of those weapons defined as assault weapons, nor did it criminalize possession of oversized magazines. It merely banned the manufacture of new AW's for sale to the general public, and banned the private sale of these items. Based on that, you'd think that the OP would support the AWB. But, having spoken to many gun people here on DU, I find that they almost always OPPOSE legislation that would do exactly the things that they claim they support.
Now the AWB was far from perfect, but on the other hand we are better off with such a ban in place. Yet where is the groundswell of support from gun owners for a law whose fundamentals these gun owners supposedly agree with? I will tell you what happens. They get to grousing with their gun nut friends with NRA talking points and pretty soon they end up strongly opposing the very same things that they claim to support.

It is unconstitutional to criminalize the simple possession of items that were purchased legally, for reasons that have nothing to do with the 2a. Now I will certainly admit that there are people here on DU that would like to confiscate, but they are just as ignorant as the gungeon crowd, if not more so. This paranoid gun nut fear (driven by the NRA) is simply never going to happen, ever.

Now when gun control advocates are referred to as gun grabbers or our efforts are compared to sugary soda banners, that is downright insulting and extremely wrong. So I feel perfectly comfortable pointing out the VERY real NRA driven gun nut paranoia evident in posts like the OP.
