Liberals have baseless preconceived notions about most things which are exacerbated by seeing everything through the prism of their political beliefs.
Next they exclusively engage in confirmation bias, projecting, and especially reductio ad absurdum to handle anything that does not fit the template that they have created. That is why any argument about "assault weapons" being legal will undoubtedly turn into "grenades and bazookas" .
Finally, anything that threatens their alternate reality or self-created utopia cannot be tolerated; it must be marginalized, demonized, and destroyed and they will not stop until what they do not like is gone.
This is the reason they are so venomous, so crazy, and do things like demand "safe spaces" and state that they have "rights" that do not exist and so on.
You cannot debate them, to them your views are invalid or nonexistent and not worthy of debate. You can not reason with them, they are not reasonable. You will never take anyone who is hardcore anti-gun and be able to say anything to them that will suddenly make them see the light.
Think about it this way: What could one of these MDA mad moms say to you that would suddenly make you believe that guns are evil, gun owners are insane and will shoot you if you so much as look at them wrong, and that the Second Amendment is only about the militia, or hunting? What arguments, what phrases, what examples could they cite to make you change your mind? None? Not one? It is even worse for them. We believe that they are misguided or uninformed. They believe that we are insane and evil.
Right at the start of what might turn into an argument or debate, ask them if they have ever fired a gun. Then offer to take them shooting. If they decline, then they are too close-minded to reach with facts or logic so don't waste your time.
