Because they think that Democrats are communists, socialists, evil people that are out to do all sorts.
Let's face it, Democrats are called progressives for a reason, and conservatives are called conservative for a reason.
Progressives are about PROGRESS, Conservatives are about CONSERVING.
You may love America the way the Constitution was intended, but for humankind to progress, some political ideals need to be influenced by progressive types, and gun-loving republicans aint the progressive ones, they're the ones wanting to conserve an old America, whereas most want change.

there have been several issues that i'm on the fence with when it comes to barry and he's hard to read on gun control, as apposed to cabinet members and legislation and of course the "let's make a deal" politics that goes on day after day in DC. i'm hoping he now has the leverage to tell some in DC to go to hell, we're getting this fixed.
i think BO has much larger things to address instead of wallowing in the mud of gun control, but i suppose we shall all witness it for ourselves at this point.
BALTIMORE (CBSDC) — Attorney General Eric Holder might not be sticking around for a second term.
Holder told law school students at the University of Baltimore School of Law that he does not know if he will stay in his job.
“That’s something that I’m in the process now of trying to determine,” Holder said. “I have to think about, can I contribute in a second term?”
Holder says he needs to sit down with his family and President Obama to see if he wants to continue on the job.

I'll say it outright: Guns will not be banned and this is nothing more than a scare tactic.

OP,
Obama has made no mention of coming after guns. Even if he wanted to, he would need a democrat majority in both houses of congress. Even if he had a majority in both houses of congress, taking away guns would be political suicide for the democrats and would ensure a republican run on all offices in following elections.
Congratulations for buying into, and parroting, the NRA propaganda; which is repeated in perpetuity in order to sell more guns so they can get their kickback on the sales.
You own a gun? Great! I do too. But I don't need 17 of them; one works just fine.

Guns wont protect you if you don't know what to do with it in a worse case scenario.
If they were to ban guns tomorrow and every authority in the u.s. came to door to door, what will you do....shoot back? Hell no, you will go to prison or be dead in front of your doorstep.

Of course Obama is not going to ban guns, BUT doesn't mean he isn't going to make it harder to get ammo. You can't do anything with a gun if you do not have bullets, and have you been out to buy bullets lately? The supplies are getting smaller, and many places can't tell you when they will be getting more in.

NRA propaganda? Please give a source to that, sir. I'm not dismissing you, I just want to see where you are getting your info from.

You do realize the chances of these bills actually gaining traction and being put on the floor is very small, right?
If you ever get a chance to look into the sheer number of bills introduced that never go anywhere, you'd feel a whole lot better.
I don't have the time now to check on the status of these bills, but I'd reckon that they've been shelved or are being sat on/burried in sub-committies.

Here is a link dating back to 2008 debunking the NRA's anti-Obama, fear-mongering propaganda: www.factcheck.org...
That same propaganda machine is still alive and well to this day. Yet, there is not, nor has there been, a single piece of anti-gun legislation brought to the floor of congress since Obama has been in office. In fact, as you will read in the link I provided, Obama strongly supports the 2nd Amendment.edit on 9-11-2012 by LeatherNLace because: (no reason given)
