I'm pretty convinced at this point that some people just want to live in terror and actively seek out narratives to support that view.

People have no since of how to assess risk. For example, you're more likely to be struck by lighting than to be killed by an "assault weapon". In fact, you are more likely to be struck lighting than to be killed by any rifle, yet people are all paranoid and want to ban certain types of rifles.
People just get fearful of whatever it is they just heard about on TV.
