It’s their whole excuse for why protecting their hobby is important. When it matters they’ll convert from fetishists to patriots. They finally have their chance to prove that all the dead children was worth it. If that’s not happening then their deadly hobby is just a hobby, to be regulated and restricted like drag racing or fireworks.
You seem to be under the impression that gun owners are a monolith. There are lots of leftist gun owners you never see because they keep it on the down low.
No I’m not, and that’s the whole point. Most right-wing gun owners are just hobbyists too, but some bleeding edge of them showed up when their side declared “tyranny” was afoot (aka vaccine requirements or woke schoolboards). If there’s some deep well of good guy gun owners that will (some day) make all the dead kids worth it, you’d expect some bleeding edge to be showing the colors, declaring the stakes, and putting the government on notice.
