The cognitive dissonance required to hold those views simultaneously is discussed at length in Orwell’s work.
Because they believe guns should only be in the hands of law enforcement and military. They don't want fellow countrymen having access to them because of shooting incidents and gun violence and guns, specifically the "AR15" is a weapon of war in their eyes. Despite the fact that if they really did a deep dive about the weapon design against its military counterpart they would quickly figure out there is a difference between the two. They are driven by stories told about them, fear from media and hollywood giving then an idea that the profile of the gun is dangerous because of what they see, not what they personally know or experienced.
They see foreign countries like New Zealand, Australia and Europe with gun bans and use those statistics to say that no guns will mean no gun violence or mass shootings. That is the gold standard to them. They don't care about the 2nd amendment and see it as unnecessary because we are not under a tyrannical government. They care about preservation of life and want to be seen as progressive and accepting to utopian ideas (which is foolish to begin with if we get real about this).
They’re the same people who complain about police brutality but think that only cops should have guns.

Don't ask such difficult questions of theses 'educated' folk.
Theses are the same people who want to entrust soo much power over everything with little check in a goverment run half the time by leaders they tell us are evil and incompetent.
You have to learn to innately trust 'authority' and think yourself but irresponsible children under it whose opinions matter not to believe this.
They as such either really are such children who never grew up or they are lying about what they think of our leaders.
True. Plus, they supposedly don't like guns and violence, but they love handing boatloads of weapons to "revolutionaries" in other countries, and also to brutal, puppet dictatorships.
The bottom line is, those behind the "gun control" movement don't care about human life. Quite the opposite. Their only goal is to disarm citizens and make them helpless against globalist elite-controlled "revolutionaries", gangs, governments, and coup-plotting global institutions.
And those average people who buy into the gun control narrative haven't given serious thought to the issue. They believe what they are told to believe, no matter how nonsensical. Emotionalism is a great propaganda tool.
Doesn’t matter how you put it, they won’t understand… The only reason the communists would want to restrict the AR-15 from civilians, is because that is the specific weapon platform they have chosen to use against civilians. They don’t target any other platform… They don’t want a resistance to be able to field an army that can use their own weapon platform against them. A well trained populous that is intimately familiar with your weapon system, has trained with it, knows how to move with it, can drive tacks with it, and knows how to repair it can easily salvage supplies in the field that they need to fight you and rapidly advance. They want Americans on different weapons of various caliber that can have their supply chain cut, while production stays at max for the government’s weapon platform. When every soldier on the battlefield is a loot pack that can be salvaged from after an ambush they lose their advantage.
Look, kiddo,
Any time you ever think you need an AR15 in life to live it, you just done more fucked up than you can handle.
Not even an American soldier in active duty will use anything close to that firepower more than once or twice in their whole career. Most make do with a lot less and prefer to be better trained.
An AR15 like an Uzi is basically a "bullet grenade". One that you're putting everyone in the vicinities ass on the line, as most who carry both are either criminals or poorly trained.
I think the main reason is ar-15’s against drones and jets is ludicrous. Why do people believe that they could fight an actual war against the most well funded military in the world just because they have ar-15’s? I don’t get it. I don’t support the insane spending on military, but I’m saying that I see the people saying that trump is a fascist also seeing the absurdity of having ar-15’s as a pillow to hug when thinking of standing up to a nuclear equipped, jet flying, insanely funded military complex.
Cognitive dissonance doesn’t occur in people who are being disingenuous.
i suspect the government is not worried about being overthrown by people with AR-15s. They are much more worried about people being able to defend themselves against government proxies like Antifa.
How do you think an AR will do to a drone? So drones target electric substations and wait. People will starve and get help from the interstate highway that turn into airplane runways for supplies and military personnel. Government dosen't even need to shot one person.
Military hardware and weaponry outclasses AR-15’s and the wanna be John Wicks. And where is the statistic about AR-15’s being the most popular but least likely to be used criminally? That makes no sense whatsoever. If a weapon is so common, it is obviously going to be a more common occurance that it is used in crime.
He's a *wannabe* fascist dictator - there's a big difference - and guns were not what stopped him. In fact, the wackos with the guns were overwhelmingly on his side. If you're suggesting that everyone on all sides should have guns, and be prepared to use them to stop someone they consider a tyrant, you're just asking for a literal civil war.
Dude, you and your thousand guns will be fine. . . without adding an AR-15. You have more than enough to protect yourself from the guberment.
If you think an ar15 will let you defend yourself against the government, you don't understand how tanks work.
If the government was indeed tyrannical, an AR-15 ain't going to do shit to help.
If we go against the government head to head owning an AR-15 will be insignificant and the least of your problems. Pea shooters are nothing compared to drones, tanks, artillery, aircraft, etc.
Because they are the tyrannical government and if the people have guns they can be thrown down by them.
Yeah those stunned libtards say we need F15s and nukes. Man where am I supposed to park an Eagle ?
I’m not sure how an ar15 is going to help against like a fully outfitted and trained squad of government goons who will have tank and air support
Trump didn't make it to dictator, and your AR 15 is a popgun compared to the military hardware the government has by spending your money on Socialism for defense contractors.
They'll never be able to take the weapons from the people all they can do is Bitch about it.
Nobody accused them of being well reasoned
