    The traditional 2A guys are on the side of the tyrants. It was never about resisting tyranny, never about freedom. It was a combination of “I like guns, fuck off,” fear of the world around them, and fantasizing about violence against liberals. The government they want to violently resist is the kind that’s forcing them to surrender their home to immigrants or trying to make their kids gay. They daydreamed about shooting rainbow-haired liberals trying to flounce in and steal their guns, not police and national guard following orders. Tyrants sending immigrants to concentration camps and making “the gays” legal targets for persecution are exactly what those traditional 2A twats want.

    It’s why leftists and LGBTQ+ arming themselves is so important. We cannot count on the 2A Old Guard to protect us, their rhetoric about resisting tyranny and keeping the government in check was a lie. Given the chance they’d gladly join the MAGAstappo instead of lifting a finger to protect actual freedom.

      The problem with 2A is that:

      The Far Right have most of the guns

      There are too few Leftists in the US

      The Liberals (who are the supermajority of Democrats) are busy pushing anti-gun rhetoric.
