A short list of some of the "smartest Gun-Controllers in the room".
This is a short list of some of the "smartest Gun-Controllers in the room". This isn't just "gotcha" type mistakes, but fundamental failures to understand the basics of what they're talking about. I've been looking for a gun-controller that could talk about the basic parts and operation without sounding like an idiot and I have yet to find one, but I'm only 58 years old.
These people are anti-2A (Second Ammendment), and if they don't support the proper Amendment processes to repeal the 2A (virtually none do), that makes them anti-American. (America was founded on rule of law). To be fair, most aren't bright or educated enough to recognize that. Like the bad guys throughout history, they think they are the good guys. The rest, just don't care, they put their agenda, and "saving children" and bullying gun owners, above everything else. Consequences be damned.
The left pretends all their ideas are reasonable. They do this by not understanding basic operation of guns, and appealing to those who do not either. So they're only reasonable to those who suffer from Dunning-Kruger (the beginner-expert problem).
A law is a reflection of the authors and advocates: if they aren't informed, then the laws they write aren't going to be reasonable. Virtually everyone that learns the facts switches sides: the vast majority of gun controllers (like the ones listed), are uninformed with no understanding of the tool, history of gun control laws, or the efficacy of what they propose -- thus what they propose isn't "reasonable".
The purpose of this article isn't to malign everyone who supports gun control: I'm sure there's some sincere folks who know the basics of guns. Someday I'll meet one. But this article is about the other: the ones with strong opinions made well before basic understanding of what they have an opinion on, and to help understand why some gun advocates have learned complete and utter contempt for gun controllers: it's the 99% that give the rest a bad name.
🗒️ Note:
Some might claim these are just technicalities, but they show proficiency and understanding. Would you trust your life to a doctor who didn't know what a stethoscope was, or what part went in his ear? I certainly won't trust laws that limit my liberty to nitwits that don't know the basics of how a gun operates or basic terminology.

Carolyn McCarthy - (D) NY Representative - has no clue what a “barrel shroud” is, although she wants to outlaw it in her own legislation.
Lawrence O'Donnel - He lacks basic understand of guns... and common sense. (a) While criticizing AR-15's, he claimed "the rate of fire on a handgun is less than 15 rounds per minute". They have the same rate of fire, or sometimes faster than rifles: about 3-5 rounds per second. (b) In criticizing teachers being able to defend themselves or students he quipped, "A pistol's 1100 fps is not quick enough to kill someone with an AR-15, because rifle bullets are 3x faster." The facts are some pistols fire the same or much higher powered (or higher velocity) bullets than the AR-15, that teachers with handguns have already stopped shooters, as have many police with pistols, and historically, civilians have better scores than cops on this. (Mass shootings stopped by civilians are quicker, fewer death tolls, less accidental casualties, and so on).

Sandy Sheedy - (D) “There’s been lots of people that have been shot by an unloaded gun, and whether it’s loaded or not, it still presents a threat.”
Louise Slaughter - The appropriately named 13-term NY congresswoman blamed the 2A for violent crimes she supported.
Eric Swalwell - Obnoxious anti-2A politician, that was sleeping with a Chinese Spy, and is on the wrong side of every issue.
Katy Tur - (D) NBC/MSNBC correspondent/anchor, Dated Keith Olbermann, no clue on Republican positions or guns.
Shannon Watts - Shanon founded "Moms Demand Action" to spread lies about guns and shooting to further her anti-2A agenda.

Those were just a few of the many examples that cause informed gun owners such frustration. And this isn't about "gotcha" type gaffes, this is fundamental failure to understand what they're talking about, write laws on, campaign against, or worse -- intentionally misleading others for their agenda.
If you don't know how to hold a gun, what the parts are, proper terms, usage, history, or function, or you have no functioning bullshit detector on statistics that confirm your political views, then you're not up for being a journalists, legislator or commenter on the topic of guns, as it will only make you look stupid or a lair, and polarize the informed against you.
Now that's not to say these gun-idiots can't be intelligent and functioning human beings in other aspects of their lives. They might be quite smart and accomplished, as long as you don't touch the emotional hot-button topic of boomsticks. But whenever you tug at their heart-strings, their brain-strings break or disengage.
What is reasonable when it comes to gun laws? I explain what it takes to be compliant with a few gun laws so that readers can decide how reasonable these laws are. Now I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, so don't take this as legal advice. But these are just a small sampling of the 20,000: local, state and national gun control laws that every owner must know and comply with, under the legal concept of Ignorantia juris non excusat (Ignorance of the law is no excuse). The penalty for infraction is often a felony conviction, ruination and loss of gun rights by hyper-aggressive DA's who hate guns or want to get elected to higher office on the fraud that they're helping public safety. Or worse, the laws aren't enforced and teach both sides contempt for them. If any of these laws seem silly, annoying, or ineffective, you will begin to understand why gun-advocates mock and resist “reasonable gun control” and the legislators who create them.
