The gun makers and NRA have successfully brainwashed gullible gun owners that this is all about the big bad government. What is really going on is that gun makers are no different than the rest of big business. Create a lobby, get congress to pass laws that protect your profits and expand the market, poof flooded market.
The NRA used to be a safety organization when it first was created. Now it is nothing but a heat shield to protect gun maker's profits. Much like big tobacco did with "smoker's rights" lobbies.
The problem sane people have isn't gun ownership, in a perfect utopia if we didn't have all this gun death or injury from both legal and illegal guns, no one would care.
But the nutters on the right think "do nothing" is a solution and the fear sold to them by the makers and NRA lobby keeps them in that position.
