Both parties love when the topic comes up. Because their donations go up, on both sides. Their basically trolling the idiots that vote for them.
In the end when was the last time anything actually changed. They argue about it, make people think their coming for their guns, some poor intern has to write up a bill that they know won't pass.
Funny how some Hot topic always comes up a few months before every election.

I agree with your premise. it seems to me that politicians (and their media buddies)--both left and right--use hyperbole to stir the emotions of their constituents in order to garner votes and cash. Unfortunately, the gun control advocates sometimes win.
National Firearms Act of 1934
Federal Firearms Act of 1938
Gun Control Act of 1968
Law Enforcement Protection act of 1986
Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act of 1994
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994
Whether they restricted categories of firearms, ammunition or accessories, instituted stricter dealer licensing, or created onerous conditions of sale--all have encroached on our basic right to keep and bear arms. So whenever I see any new gun control initiative start to get traction, I start writing letters and making noise.
