I happened to turn on Rush in the car today and figured something out

You know how gun activists have this weird persecution complex where they think the only reason people support gun control is to ostracize them and hurt their itty bitty wittle feelings? They insist gun control has nothing to do about saving lives but is instead all about them (like they think absolutely everything is about them). Well, Rush was going on today about how their is so much bigotry against conservatives. I realized that's where gunners get the idea that opposition to their extreme views on guns is akin to bigotry against a protected class under race, gender, or religion. They've picked up that victimization complex from right-wingers like Rush.
