No. They explicitly want to disarm us.
Nonsense.
Have you not read the official DNC website on gun control? They want to disarm us.
Are you fucking joking? You’re literally citing a source you haven’t read and trying to give me shit about something you don’t even realize it doesn’t say? Literally the only way the DNC platform says they want to disarm you is if you are a “stalker, abusive partner, or an individual convicted of assault or battery”. Are you saying you’re one of those?
You need to take a good long look in the mirror and realize you don’t actually want to do what’s right, you just want to be told you’re right for doing what you’re already doing. It’s lazy, selfish, and destructive.
Without due process is the crucial bit
It’s not even taking away guns, just preventing their purchase! Jesus Christ, shut the fuck up until you’ve at least read the platform. Talking out of your ass when the information is RIGHT THERE is embarrassing you.

That is considered disarming.
So, in summary, in order for your comment to be true, we need to entirely redefine the word “disarm” to mean “prevent from additional purchase”, and we need to define “us” as “stalkers, abusive partners, and those convicted of assault or battery”.
You are at best being deliberately and dangerously reductive. And that’s being generous. You’re more likely being selfishly deceptive and willfully ignorant.
Oppressive regimes start with repression of the civilian ownership of firearms. Sooner or later that affects everyone, even Democrats.
Oh, we’re playing Slipperiest Slope? When can I start arming toddlers with bazookas?
You can’t say that literally any limitation on access to firearms is tantamount to disarmament. It’s absurdism.
