Along those lines, I’ve noticed that the concept of “responsible gun ownership” has become offensive to some gun owners.

Woah, powdered toast is too far. I think we can all agree on that after the cinnamon challenge!
As long as four-slot toasters are restricted to hotel breakfast bars, i believe we’ll be safe.
I am sure if everyone would just take the time to learn The Proper Use of Toast we shall all be much safer.
I found a video that can help explain:
Man, I’ve only read the first 40 comments and I have to go. I just wanted to say that I need a ‘like all’ button.
This thread is glorious.
The appendectomy?
No, no, not disbanded. Prosecuted.
You can prosecute the officers, but if the organization is not dissolved then new bad actors will simply fill the vacancies.
So Disbanded. And perhaps make any organization around gun ownership illegal.
Actually, I’m eating toast right now!

/me looks back at the 2016 candidates
Wait, what? Last I looked, the only serious non-white candidates were Republicans. All of the Democratic candidates were white.
And: so long as the Democratic Party maintains gun control as a plank of their platform, the NRA will get more income when Democrats win. I’d be unsurprised if their income increases next year, with the House under their control.
I’m afraid you’re wrong there.
That my friend is a ‘toasting fork’.
A toaster in those days looked more like this:
And the Founders clearly intended that private households should be able to toast bread for the entire household, including servants (and the neighbors if they came visiting!).
In those days that was a considerable number and current fully automatic toasting systems are if anything considerably lower capacity than anything the Founders envisaged.
Although this only came about after toasting forks were mandated by the British, for every household, to ensure that the British soldiers forcibly billetted with locals would not mutiny at being told to live in places where there was not an adequate provision of toasting equipment.
The locals objected to their blacksmiths being tied up making toasting forks, as this was smithy capacity not able to be used for making firearms. Much forging went on after dark, after the British soldiers were lulled to sleep with copious quantities of toast.
If the rebels had but realised it, depriving the average British squaddie of his toast would have led to a much more effective and earlier catalyst - and resolution - than threatening to deprive him of his cup of tea by throwing shipments overboard in the harbour before it could be landed.
By such quirks is history changed.
Edited to add: PS which is also why it was a very close thing, and the constitution nearly said “the right to forge arms” - which would of course have come back to haunt us today when the Supremes inevitably held that the double meaning was intended and anyone could make things that looked like guns but were not, and sell them as if they were.
He’s contrasting it the eight years when the White House was in the hands of Blackazoid, the Kenyan Usurper. That upset the NRA and many of its members a lot more than the Dems’ half-baked* (by Western standards) attempts at gun control.
[* “half-toasted” might be more appropriate here]
I feel it is my God given right to walk into any bar, subway, school or hospital with a four-slicer auto-temperature Sears model strapped to my back.
You may feel that way, but you are endangering loaves of bread everywhere. Won’t someone please think of the uncooked dough?!
Prove it.
You liberals loafing around with your toast-free zones! A good man with a toaster can stop a bad man with 12-grain any day!
