I do not believe they are stupid, I believe they are well aware their agenda will do nothing except disarm the obedient. Perhaps it is uncharitable of me but I believe that is their actual intent.
Theres 'what they say', and theres 'what they do'. Kind of like the threads where they chant 'nobody wants to take your guns', then 10 minutes later, they're reccing a thread about assault weapons needing to be banned. Their words, at best, are often deliberate misrepresentation of the facts, and at worst, outright lies.
They do not mourn good people killed by means other than guns and they resent good people defending themselves.
Sometimes, They don't even mourn good people killed by guns:
If thousands of people have to die from guns every year in this country, I'd much rather it people like this...
The above refers to the innocent gun store owner and his son, both dead. Disgusting as it is, I'm neither shocked nor surprised.

They have convinced me this is about nothing more than ambitious power and their incessant deceits mean they are not to be trusted with that power.
It is to the point, that I only listen to them to see how they're telling lies or outright misrepresenting a given subtopic of guns. Because that's all they seem capable of. The worst part of it, is that the entire works falls squarely on their shoulders. They are, and always have been the aggressors in this struggle, while we pro-gun folks have basically wanted them to leave us and our guns and our rights the fuck alone. I don't much care if that ruffles their feathers or not, because its the truth.
