You're illustrating the problem perfectly.

You have to understand that from the other side, you sound every bit as unreasonable as what you're portraying gun owners to be like. You can say that's crazy or wrong or illogical or whatever. But then you have a choice: you can be self-righteous or affect change, not both.

...many who call themselves moderate will accuse everybody else of trying to take away their guns...

Because neither side trusts the other in good faith. That is the point of the link. You've instead doubled-down on the mistrust while failing to acknowledge that it runs both ways.

You guys have alienated yourselves honestly. How do you expect people who are sick of seeing kids die in school shootings, kids shooting each other at home because their parents didn’t keep track of their guns properly too view you ?

Funny how when it was inner city black kids, no one cared. The suicide rate for middle-aged white men in the western United States is 44 per 100,000 last year, which is over 14 times the U.S. homicide rate. No one protested for them (on the contrary, they were labeled "deplorables" and then everyone was shocked when they lashed out politically.)

But please, tell me more about how the gun rights side has a credibility problem.
