LOL. My point was, when you have come down of your high horse, that the opponents of gun control hide behind the Second Amendment and the need to protect themselves from government overreach, but those are the exact same people who jump up to volunteer to do that exact bit of overreach.

Plus I get to have a little dig at your country's ridiculous gun laws at the same time.

opponents of gun control hide behind the second amendment

What? That doesn't even make any sense. Anti-Gun folks continually make laws against the second amendment (Imo, I know this is gonna get a lot of flack here but that's not the point.

The second amendment protects the rights of civilians owning guns. And folks who are pro-gun tend to overwhelmingly lean right after years of bastardization from the left.

Maybe actually read the second amendment, and the arguments made by both parties before you "take a little dig"
