When you boil it down to what it is, you see that we are really just trapped in a bloody, cynical capitalist scheme where gun makers seek to broaden their customer base to include crazies, wife beaters, and terrorists because they want to achieve profits. So they give money to the NRA who then lobbies politicians to weaken gun laws, and if a few wife beaters, crazies, and terrorists get guns, so be it...capitalism by blood. Then when those wife beaters, crazies, and terrorists go on a rampage, the gun makers and the NRA use them to stoke fear for personal safety and/or government confiscation, sending "responsible gun owners" scurrying to their closest arms dealer to buy another gun or five.
Every single gun owner is caught in this scheme.
