Your analysis suggests that fevered advocates of non-regulation of all things gun-related are basically terrified of the world and even other people in general. They are scared to the maximum that hoards of poor (dark-skinned?) people are plotting to invade their homes, assault and devour their pets, and savagely murder everyone. And their guns are the ONLY thing standing between that certain end and peaceful existence.
That [slightly exaggerated] depiction passes as reasoned logic.... not at all paranoid.
And I'm still waiting for someone to show me one single instance where a person who didn't break the law has had their lawfully-acquired gun seized by any governing body in the US - even though I hear over and over that, 'Obama's taking our guns!'
Rational and not in the least a demonstration of a deluded outlook.
I know people who like to go out to the range and squeeze off a few rounds at targets. They're not the people raging against the apparently scary concept of more pervasive background checks - it's the people you're describing with their panic rooms, secret ammo stashes, and bunkers.
That all said, I don't know where the background checks are being conducted and approvals/denials decided - but I think they should be done at the state level, not federal.
