"Gun grabber" is a term used to belittle proponents of gun control. "Gun fetishist" is a term used to belittle supporters of gun ownership and rights. Apples and apples.

Unless they are an elected official then no proponent of gun control has the ability to grab anyone's guns. So it is indeed apples and oranges.

My fellow advocates? I'm sorry Takeda but incorrect and anonymous claims are not proof of anything except your willingness to grasp at straws.

Simple logic dictates that the only way you can take a persons legally owned firearm away from them is by force of law. When you have the capability to enact legislation then you can proudly wear the title of gun grabber and not before.
