gun grabbers
Anti-firearm seizure proponents
Gun grabbers is a derogatory term used by gun rights advocates for people who support stricter gun control legislation.
The phrase implies these advocates want to confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens rather than simply regulate them: The gun grabbers in Congress are coming for your Second Amendment rights.
The term is dismissive and politically charged, framing gun control supporters as extremists.
