For a large portion of gun owners it's the fear of a slippery slope domino effect. They feel like even giving an inch to increased gun control will ultimately lead to the gubment taking away their guns. And they are extremely zealous about that fear.
And then you have folks like the NRA, Ted Nugent, Alex Jones, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and most of the talking heads over on Fox, stoking those fears on a daily basis.
(can't wait to hear Jone's latest False Flag theory...... )
And let's not forget that one of the biggest lobbies on Capital Hill is the NRA, which basically represents all of the major gun and ammunition manufacturers.
