Not a problem.
Using precedent -- the actual actions of the people in question, the fact of which is not in doubt -- to inform an opinion on what they will do under a similar set of circumstances is "fearmongering"?
Fact: during the first two years of the Clinton Administration, the last time both Congress and the White House were Democrat, they did enact the most sweeping restrictions on the 2nd Amendment in history -- the Brady Law and the Assault Weapons Ban.
Fact: once Congress was returned to Democrat hands in 2007, Rep. McCarthy, whose chief issue is gun control, did re-introduce the Assault Weapons ban within six weeks of that Congress taking office.
Fact: the Democratic party platform includes plans to do exactly the same.
Do you deny that there are some Democrats who want to ban all guns? Do you notice that I also said some Republicans probably want to as well?
Fearmongering? I think not. A reasoned look at history and using it to inform ideas on what will happen? Absolutely. What's "comical" is calling this "fearmongering."
