and it still puzzles me. How is it that a group of people who know guns and pride themselves on being responsible and law abiding stand by and see what guns in the wrong hands do without being outraged?

Why aren't they in the streets trying to keep guns out of the hands of these people? Of all people they should be advocating for keeping guns away from them yet there is nothing but absolute stonewall opposition to anything proposed?

Why do they seem comfortable with being seen in the same light as these people?
