Most pro gun people are stupid and classify any for of regulation as anti-gun. People will say they are in favor of trigger locks or background checks or magazine caps but then when actual legislation is proposed and the NRA machine goes into action all of a sudden it's communism.
It seriously is irrational. There is no other way to put it. Pro-gun advocates ARE EXTREMIST and the evidence of that is in our current gun laws which are absurd and extreme.
