    I will never understand how we can push the second amendment so hard, and then use having a gun as an excuse to kill civilians. Furthermore, I will never understand how the 2A crowd will then also use that excuse as a justifiable reason for someone to be killed by law enforcement.

    “No, bro, the way I carry MY gun is totally different. He wasn’t doing it right.”

      California started restricting guns when the Black Panthers started exercising their 2A rights…

        Every republican that talks shit about gun control, I roll with it and see how far they’ll agree with me.

        “hell yeah, the government shouldn’t be allowed to control our guns!”

        “fucking politicians always getting scared of people just for owning and carrying guns. They don’t kill you by accident!”

        “anti-gun nut Ronald Reagan got scared of people walking around open carrying, and he fucked California up with gun control while Governor! Brought it to Washington with him, too! cites laws signed by Reagan

        I lose a lot of the with this one. Somehow Ronald Reagan is their idol?

        “yeah man, if they can take a trans persons guns, they can take yours too!”

        That last one is where I lose almost all of them.

        If there is a hell, Ronald Reagan is getting pineapple’d with Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, and Charlie Kirk.

      But don’t you see…their 2A fervor ends when applied universally, because they believe it was intended for them to use against their perceived enemies.

      The people who pushed the 2a are in ICE though. “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.”

      “The only moral ___ is my ___” is a template applied to many things by right-wingers.
