BBH touched on the crux of this issue, at least for me.
The idea that this "right to bear arms" is some sort of God-given right, and how dare anybody say or do anything to contradict it.
Yes, the majority of gun-owners are law-abiding, tax-paying citizens, and they should have the right to demonstrate that they can be trusted with a gun. This should be something that's earned, IMO.
When you tell a gun-lover "geez, I hope you or your loved one is never senselessly gunned down by a legally obtained gun", they really don't know what to say.
You see, it's more important that they have this "right" to have guns, than the lives of them or their loved ones (or anyone else's lives for that matter).
Don't worry though, gun folk, things will never change.
Your "right" is safe.
