Why libertarianism is so dangerous to gun rights -- beyond them being conspiracy nuts and potheads:
1. They are conspiracy theorists, with some genuinely wanting social chaos (which would, of course, lead to demands for an authoritarian regime, thereby defeating their own libertarianism).
2. They are largely potheads.
3. Their proposed policies of unencumbered gun possession by criminals, nuts, and druggies only turns away the vast swath of people moderate or neutral on 2A/RKBA,
4. Their refusal to recognize the truth of TDF 10 and the scope of what items fall under 2A protection only turns the vast swath of people moderate or neutral on 2A/RKBA.

5. Their focus on self-indulgence drives them to do and act in ways exacerbating Points 3 and 4.
6. Their paranoia and individualism prevents them from accepting the actual intent and function of the 2A civilian Militia, and the truth of Federalist 46 regarding "resistance to tyranny."
7. Their denial of reality in favor of self-indulgence inhibits working constructively against anti-gun legislative efforts. In the name of "pure" gun rights, they contribute to the degradation of those rights. Example: Background checks -- Rather than work for the TDF position of voluntary checks, or simply ensuring the guns are not referenced in the private checks, they cry like babies and repeat errant mantras.

HR8 'Universal Background Checks' -- Result of the Steal; Urge Federalist 46 State action; Suggest VOLUNTARY checks." https://catsgunsandnationalsecurity.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-daily-fudd-e37-2a-alert-hr8.html
8. Their general mission of tearing down the institutions that help regulate social change only aid the liberal/Left against not only gun rights, but all of Western heritage. For the Left, Libertarians are Like a 'Cheap Date' | The Stream https://stream.org/left-libertarians-cheap-date/
9. Their voting practices make them spoilers to the benefit of the side most opposed to them.
10. They are conspiracy theorists and potheads.
Bottom line, libertarians would rather lose ALL their freedoms--which means, you lose all YOUR freedoms--in the name of a conspiracy theory-driven, drug-fueled, self-indulgent agenda that has zero chance of ever being established. And in the event it actually did get put into place, it would lead to the collapse of the very community that makes rights and freedoms possible. It is the most self-defeating political ideology ever imagined.
If I was a libertarian, I would have to conclude that libertarians were part of the grand conspiracy that libertarians believe is trying to take their liberties.
