the dems HATE GUNS, because they know that an armed population could never be controlled, or forced to submit too their ultimate socialist goals, if they knew the true depth of the socialist agenda
only a UN-armed population can be forced into living in a police state environment where the government controls almost every aspect of your life and they know it.
that's on major reason why ALMOST EVERY dictator or communist government drastically limits civilian access to weapons.
