While I generally agree with the sentiment you are expressing regarding some gun owners who absolutely have let themselves be brainwashed into fearing for their lives every time the doorbell rings, I do not think it is reasonable to apply that sentiment to all gun owners, particularly those who have legitimate safety concerns for themselves as she undoubtedly does.
I give her kudos for this. Instead of being some brainlet celebrity who preaches banning guns while having a fully armed security detail, she takes matters into her own hands. And as you stated, being a celebrity carries significantly more risk than your average joe.
I don’t even agree that it’s most, keep in mind a lot of the times when we hear about a gun owner doing something incredibly stupid it is a statistical minority based on the known number of gun owners.
I’m not saying we don’t need to do more to restrict or enforce legislation on gun owners, we absolutely do, but even saying half means upwards of 200 million in the US. I think we’d be hearing about a lot more issues if that many were existing in that level of day to day fear.
Maybe the strawmen you saw on the internet do. Considering 32% of Americans own a gun, I suspect you only know about the ones that make it their personality.
I mean, I just found out one of my buddies was concealed carrying basically every time it wasn’t illegal so they certainly exist, but I wouldn’t characterize him as living in fear. A former Boy Scout who takes “being prepared” a little too seriously, sure, and a raging woke liberal who just happened to grow up in a rural area, sure.

If you can’t eat tacos without getting a stomach ache, I feel bad for you
If you can’t eat tacos without getting a stomach ache, I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but a tummy ache ain’t 1.

Most gun owners. Most.

You’ve just never had good diarrhea
Most gun owners I know live in serious fear. Must be exhausting.
Maybe the strawmen you saw on the internet do. Considering 32% of Americans own a gun, I suspect you only know about the ones that make it their personality.
Well, if you feel the need to walk around armed at all times, even at home, you must be afraid of something.
You remember that mention of “strawmen?”
Or do you work with some guys that stay strapped?
