4. I think that "loves owning guns" may be

too strong an emotion for why she and Mark are gun owners. Gun nuts "love" guns, but responsible gun owners handle and store them responsibly, which is implied in the name of their organization: Americans For Responsible Solutions. Responsibility is legislated for other potentially dangerous consumer products (cars, chemicals, explosives, lawnmowers, etc.) but thanks to the NRA/ILA, Koch Brothers (ALEC), gun laws and product oversight are lax or non-existent.

With the exception of assault weapons, none of the major gun control organizations wants to ban or confiscate American's guns. The right-wing gun lobby and its puppet gun nuts use the lie that Democrats want to take away guns as a marketing tool to sell more guns to those gullible enough to believe the manufactured fear.
