These comments do, in fact, appear to malign an entire class of people, for their immutable characteristics. Now that Moms Demand has demonstrated behavior that fits into the SPLC’s definition of a “hate group”, I decided to read more about what the FBI says about hate groups:

“Both rational and irrational hate mask personal insecurities. Everyone experiences personal insecurities in varying degrees throughout their lives. The more insecure a person feels, the larger the hate mask.

. . . Not all insecure people are haters, but all haters are insecure people.”

“Fascinating”, I thought. This explains why most of my attempts at “reasonable” and “sensible” dialog with gun control advocates results in being blocked by whatever means the social platform makes available. It has nothing to do with me personally, or the things that I say to them – this happens to most gun rights supporters consistently and predictably.

Great article, go and read.  And the answer is yes, they are a hate group right alongside the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence.
