And one day it'll get used?

I'm going to assume that second amendment is going to continue to be upheld by Republican supporters. And you'll have an NRA who look at people getting executed for possessing a weapon without drawing, and keep saying "this is fine".

The hypocrisy with 2A supporters is palpable. They never supported 2A rights.



I'm a liberal (e: as in democrat) supporter of the 2A. On the other hand, while I do not and have never supported the NRA, didn't they immediately call out the republican politicians and cabinet members who were trying to pin the blame on Pretti for lawfully exercising his 2A rights before he was killed?


> The NRA labelled a suggestion by a federal prosecutor that people who carry guns risk being lawfully shot by officers as "dangerous and wrong".

> "Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalisations and demonising law-abiding citizens," the NRA said in a statement.

I mean, I guess you could imply that? But considering they have held marches when there were rumours of Democrats restricting gun ownership, it is literally the least they could do. Where are are gun touting matches? Where are the stages with "from my cold dead hands" statements?
