Yet countless folks like to act like anyone that wants the senate to pass even moderate firearm legislation is trying to break into homes and rip guns out of defenseless childrens cribs

Because you can look at places like california, new york and new jersey and many other countries to see where those who are in charge want the conversation to go. california has nearly everything gun control activists want and yet shootings still happen daily and they are still pumping out gun control laws with little to no results. countries who barely ever have shootings are implementing even more laws to clamp down on its citizens specifically because of what happens in the US regardless. its just never ever enough.

just look at the universal background check bill that got shot down recently in the senate. just after the last school shooting you had a ton of people blaming mitch mcconnell (well, theres no shortage of shit to blame on him regardless) that that bill could have stopped it despite it 100% not being what the bill does. a good chunk of people DO want to take peoples guns (Pelosi has stated this on numerous occasions and more recently Beto), they just know not to open their gobs too much until their voted in office. now more and more are not hiding it.

now do i personally think most democrats want to take everyones guns away? no. i think most just want UBC's, mag limits, maybe an AWB(which is fucking awful in its own right) or red flag laws (which is even worse than an AWB) and will leave it at that (tho i also believe most dont really know what a lot of the bills entail they just want something, anything passed to make themselves feel good). however those people are not who get voted into office and those who get voted into office are not listening to those people. they are listening to the loudest screeching vocal minority.
