For Last Dollar, here's one of those Quotes by a prominent supporter of anti-gun Democrats that he feels is "out of context". The repeated contention that the Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a relatively recent invention by the NRA hardly seems out of context to me. I think that's just more of the deep and dishonest denial that supporting anti-gunners makes one responsible for the kind or restrictions that lawmakers in Kalifornia are placing on law abiding citizens:

The Supreme Court in 2008 overturned all mainstream legal and historical scholarship by ruling that there is an individual right to own firearms although with some limits. Obama said it again last week.

I believe that during the previous 218 years the Second meant what it said: firearms shall be held by "the People"---a collective and not individual right---insofar they are in the service of "a well-regulated militia." Was an individual right even mentioned at the Constitutional Convention or in the House when it ratified the Amendment or when debated in state legislatures? I don't think so.

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
