Ring-winger gun-nuts: the 2nd amendment is meant to keep us protected from a tyrannical government!!!!

This is the second attempt on the life of your wannabe god-emperor...are things starting to click into place yet or are you ready to admit it was never about "rights" and "freedoms" you just really like having guns

I sort of wonder how much longer 2A idiocy will last in the US. The NRA has gone bankrupt and since they aren't able to funnel Russian money to politicians like they used to be able to, their influence is basically zero at this point.

With them out of the picture, there's really not a powerful gun lobby getting right wing media to talk about Democrats as gun grabbers.

If you peruse conservative spaces like I do, you'll notice that talking point has evaporated.

Throw in Trump has stated to take people's guns without due process, and Pence had to talk him out of it to ensure the 2A voters wouldn't turn against him, now apparently he wants to do outdoor events behind shields of some sort... I can imagine it will be long before MAGA followers agree it is to dangerous to have people buying guns without proper background checks... Which would have likely prevented this person from owning an AK, as he has previous weapons charges.
