The pro gun crowd is as irrational, if not more, than the anti gun crowd. Ever since the NRA in the late 1970s shifted its focus away from responsible gun use to guns as a means to fight against internal tyranny, the “Personal responsibility” aspect has fallen by the wayside. Any laws attempting to enforce personal responsibility (insurance, storage) as in other gun using countries (Germany, Switzerland) are promptly lobbied against because that isn’t what that side is about anymore.
