Has Anyone Compared The Act Rounding Up All 'Illegal' Immigrants And Deporting Them To..... [View all]

taking away the guns of Americans?

Gun owners react adversely to any discussion of gun control and always say that the Feds want to take away their guns. What these gun owners do is dig in more, buy more guns and say that if anyone comes to take away their guns - they'll fight them.

How do they think - what Trump calls - 'illegal immigrants' feel when they are threatened with being rounded up and deported.

Is there any empathy between gun owners and so-called illegal immigrants because of the irrationality of these two things?
