Why does the concerned position always get misrepresented as "banning guns" instead of what it clearly is: namely, what more we can do to keep guns and nuts from teaming up.

It's almost as though it's on purpose.

Can someone name one prominent American politician in the past two hundred years who's called for the banning and seizure of all legally owned guns and/or a repeal of the Second Amendment?

Let's have that name.
