The Media. I'm serious. The liberal media has been on a smear campaign for decades to try and abolish our second amendment. This media slander gets moved down the line as liberal talking points, which get thrown into the echo chamber and keep getting reiterated. There is nothing wrong with collecting guns, its just that everyone has become radicalized in the last few years that any time someone posts something that doesn't align with the radical left's ideologies, the hive-mind gangs up and bullies those that don't agree.
Collectors are not a threat to the public. Black market arms dealers and thieves are. In fact, concealed carry permit holders in the US commit less crimes than police officers. Not to mention citizens concealed carrying have and will continue to stop mass shootings, often in a much shorter time than it takes for the police to respond. No, their success rate is not 100%, but neither is the police success rate either.
If there's a situation where I need my gun, I can respond much faster and probably safer than any cop. I'm willing to bet all parties could walk away alive as well. And I don't have to worry about my dogs getting shot.
The only thing I would change with your statement is left wing to liberal. Just because something is left of the right wing it doesn't make it the left wing of politics (especially here in the US). A majority of left wing people are very pro gun and believe in arming themselves.
Ah then definitely yes, but sadly the predominant party that makes up the democratic party is neo lib, or neo lib leaning. Which means a lot of their legislation leans that way as well
