One factor is unreasonable leftist trust in government. Leftists don't see the need to defend ourselves from the government, even though it's written into the Constitution and history shows what happens to populations which let their governments disarm them.
Another factor is that the globalist elite are worried that their absolute control over the plebeian masses is threatened by an armed populace. So they fund the media to stoke leftist fear about mass shootings, while completely ignoring the vastly greater number of shootings by black thugs in inner cities. They are not afraid of blacks organizing resistance to their censorship and their subversion of election integrity. They are afraid of white people organizing such resistance.

That's why they have invasions that are death by a thousand cuts: election frauds, weak, stupid, perverted and disgusting politicians, propaganda, dumping addictive drugs everywhere, social subversions, corruption, treasons, rule by blackmail etc. etc.
Fourth, fifth and sixth dimensional warfare are introduced as organic social diseases.
Trump recently stated that he could destroy China, but he won't. CCP already declared war by participating in the election frauds at the very least.
