I don't think all gun owners do of course, and I can see why some side with the nra because they keep getting attacked and the nra sides with them.
People will favor those who side with them. I side with gun owners because I don't believe they are bad people. If we could get more on the left to see that we could get more such people on our side instead of running to the one place they know they won't be attacked- the nra.
We can, and should have a left wing version of the NRA that cares about the avg citizen and their rights when it comes to guns and at the same time is finding ways to keep guns out of the hands of idiots and criminals.
That won't happen as long as we paint them all as crazy gun humping jackholes who are out to kill everyone.
