gun owners in this country. They are selfish and irrational when it comes to guns. The speed at which they get to hyperbole (as in "no one's gonna take my guns&quot is proof that they are unwilling to do anything at all. We demand something be done, even small measures such as required background checks, and they are suddenly arguing that we want to take their guns away. I suppose that's true if the gun owner is a convicted violent criminal who has abused the right to own a gun by threatening, hurting, or killing others. That is the terrible "taking my guns" issue they fear so much. So in essence, they are protecting only the criminals with their rhetoric.
