I would like to get your opinion.

It seems that every week now we have a mass shooting, and sometimes more than one. What I keep wondering about is why so many gun owners and the NRA seem to oppose ANY restrictions on gun sales. I do know that not all of the NRA membership feel that way, but the leadership does and they have the influence on Congress. What is it that people are so frightened of? Is it personal safety, or government tyranny, racial strife or what? It just flies in the face of the fact that other democratic countries that have strict gun control laws have far less gun violence. I really am mystified by the psychology of it; it seems neurotic to me at best, and downright paranoid at worst. Does anyone really think that our armed forces would declare war on the American people? It isn't in their tradition.
