Furthermore, not all democrats are like Feinstein and I have seen Obama clearly support the second amendment on multiple occassions.



Even the NRA will tell you that it is important to ensure mentally disturbed people do not get access to guns so how can you divorce healthcare and gun control?



I don't see how the gun control legislation under discussion in congress is sneaking through the back door. This is the appropriate political process. His executive orders such as "appoint an ATF director" and "allow more studies" do not strike me as anything inappropriate either.



Are all democrats liberals? Does supporting any regulation of guns whatsoever make someone anti-gun? It's these overgeneralizations and us/them rhetoric that gets you push back.
If you're stupid enough to be talked into supporting an assault weapons ban, i put you in the anti-gun group. I dont care if you support shotguns.. handguns.. or crossbows.... if you're willing to give in to an assault weapon ban, then you are part of the problem. Rifles kill less people a year than table saws.... it is the absolute LEAST used gun in criminal activity. So if you're willing to swallow that stat and still be ok with a ban, you are part of the problem. If you support AR and clip bans, you're anti-gun.

UN arms treaty was sneaking it in the back door. They put together these big massive bills and they bury little tidbits inside of it so that you wont notice. It's always something politely packaged like "free candy for children bill" so you'll agree with it, but then on page 867 it gets into the details they actually wanted to slip through. Just like the gun control debate.... the only reason ARs are targeted is because it's agreeable..... but theyre going to get as many guns as they can.
