The gun haters have always been around, but boy, have they become emboldened lately. In listening to all the noise from them and the media lately, you would think that AR-15s, and guns in general, are the Devil.
But why do they hate guns so much and why is it that the vast majority of gun haters are liberal Statists? What is the root source of this hatred? I gave it much thought and came up with this... Their hatred of firearms has nothing to do with "saving lives" or "protecting children". They simply hate what guns represent. Things like liberty, challenges to the whims of the State, self-reliance and protection. These values are anathema to their Collective minds. A gun is a common tool of those believe in Individualism instead of Collectivism. And since most liberal Statists are Secularists at heart, their only recourse is more laws, since government is their god. Laws are the only redoubt of Secularists, as Gov Perry eloquently stated today.
Simple as that.
