(32,159 posts)36. And who's judging all gun owners as killers?
The problem is that lots of gun owners feel threatened by gun control measures - even though the control isn't about THEM, it's about those like Rodger who shouldn't have guns in the first place! There's a difference between gun owners and gun fetishists. Sadly, the irrational "OBAMA WANNA TAKEAWAY MAH GUNNNN" people have far too much of the gun dialogue in America.

Not really. Never saw a car or clothes ad that preys on gunners' fear of the boogeyman and such.
