Of course it is. That's why we push so hard to keep our firearms - because we know the bad guys have them.
But you guys are the ones who want to change the current status by challenging the freedoms we have. We believe the solution primarily lies with initiatives outside of regulating firearms. There are hundreds of laws already on the books. Enforce them.
Your side has folks calling for banning firearms, and that makes us dig in our heels. Surely you cannot be so foolish as to not see this.
The problem with liberals is that they pretty much want to ban all guns. Their legislation is not about reasonable gun control but totally dedicated to banning firearms in incremental steps. This bill from Feinstein is the latest example...
Feinstein Introduces Assault Weapon Ban Of 2019

Despite Democrats failing to gain control of the Senate, many of us figured we could still trust Sen. Dianne Feinstein to run out yet another assault weapon ban, just as she has over and over again since the last one sunset despite her best efforts. Many of us expected it and were getting ready to see just how bad it would be.
Feinstein apparently heard us and didn’t want to disappoint.
This time, though, the bill goes far further than any previous proposal from the San Francisco Democrat.
