The gun-grabbers think that our concern about government tyranny is paranoia. They see it as a "joke". "Are you kidding me?! Get real!"
Therefore, if we link that "paranoia" to a real, serious event, that we consider "evidence", they consider it "insensitive" because we're not being "real" and we're making light of real, serious events.
Their world-view fixation forces them to be unable to make the connection.

genocide. That is what was done to Native Americans, and it's offensive to suggest that it was merely a failure of white settlers to "assimilate" to indigenous cultures that led to the almost complete obliteration of the latter.

Exactly. The fact that we want to forget and dismiss the idea is a certain path to a repeat for someone else. Genocides are still taking place around the world in the 21st Century. To think that it can't happen here (again) is the height of denial.
