@critialcloudkicker In the US, the most vocal opponents of stringent gun control are often conservatives, and the most vocal proponents of more stringent gun control are often liberal. Women, LGBT, and Hispanics are gaining political clout due to demographic changes, and they often lean Democratic due to being repulsed by things like a call for a Berlin Wall at the US-Mexico border. If the Democrats can successfully use "Politics 101" to get these people to associate gun ownership with the things some Republicans are saying, gun owners like myself are in a lot of trouble in the long run (a permanent ban on "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazines, "may issue" concealed carry laws, etc.).
